Description:
"The existence of fifth columns has not infrequently been noted by historians; but the present work is the first study of the role of fifth columns in any period of Greek history. The evidence presented has demonstrated the importance of this neglected subject for the Peloponnesian War : fifth columns operated in all periods and geographical areas, and throughout the entire course of the war ... the fifth column was a major instrument of strategy in the Peloponnesian War. Its successes and failures constituted a decisive factor in the outcome of the conflict"--P. 134
