This book examines the oratorical appeals deployed in assembly speeches to understand the wide range of thinking and feeling that determined Athenian foreign policy decisions. It draws on theories of militarism, international relations, games, gender, and metaphor to show how even seemingly irrational appeals made sense in their context.

Autorenporträt
Peter, the only child of John and Margaret Hunt, was born in Brighton in July 1940 but, at the age of five, began his life as a child in post-war Hong Kong. At the age of seven, this idyllic life was shattered when he was sent back to England to enrol in a Catholic boarding school in Sussex and later a Catholic boarding public school in Somerset. His later life was spent in advertising and marketing as well as being the author of five books about Jersey where he now lives with Jennifer, his companion of 20 years.
