Although Sparta's early history is not clear, by the end of the 8th
century most of the other cities of Lakedaimon had been reduced to
subject status. The Lakedaimonians were the only full time army in
ancient Greece and were thus truly an elite force. The institutions
of the state and the system of education were organised with a view
to creating superbly trained soldiers. Nick Sekunda examines this
unique military machine in this book describing the organisational
systems of the Spartan army through the Hellenistic period, how
they were trained, the battles they fought, and the society that
produced them.
