Hoplites by Rick Hanson
A concise, evidence-based study of ancient Greek heavy infantry that reconstructs the tactics, equipment, and gritty experience of close-order phalanx combat and examines how citizen-soldiery shaped social values and political institutions; using literary, epigraphic, and archaeological sources, it argues that the realities of hoplite warfare — training, discipline, mutual reliance, and the brutal intimacy of battle — had profound effects on civic identity, notions of honor, and the development of the Greek city-state.
