Hot on the heals of "Storm of Spears" and "The Psychology of the Athenian Hoplite", we seem to have a new collection of essays due next year.
From the blurb on Amazon, it sounds like there will be conflicting viewpoints within the volume, so my tiny mind is already being to hurt with all the confusing arguments!
I have slightly lost track of the "ideologies" of the factions in the debate, but Kagan is the editor (probably best know to RATers for his excellent 4-volume history of the Peloponnesian War, inter alia) is, I believe, "aligned" with Hanson. Anyway, there is a list of some of the diversity of contributers in the description so you can see what you are getting in advance - and it is less than £20.
