Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book is an examination of ancient Greek politics and offers parallels between the rise and fall of the Greek nation and the state of the American republic during the American Civil War. Analyzing the factors that led to Greece's political demise, the author shows how similar tendencies threatened the American Union. The author draws parallels between the Greek concept of "autonomy" and the "state rights" arguments that fueled the secession crisis, arguing that both stemmed from a misguided belief in the supremacy of local interests over the welfare of the nation as a whole. This book explores the dangers of allowing regional loyalties to overshadow national unity and demonstrates that true sovereignty lies not in isolation but in a shared commitment to the common good.
