The Stoics Illustrated

 

The Art of War is a nicely written monograph on the classical school of philosophy by Dr. Paul Scade. Released 14th June 2025 by Amber Books, it's 160 pages and will be available in hardcover with a traditional sewn binding and uncut papers as well as ebook formats.. 

There are short entries throughout describing some of the history behind the rise of the stoic school, some of the main characters and lots of photos of artifacts and facsimile documents, statuary, and references throughout the book. It's a good -introduction- and overview, there's not a lot of deeper analysis or academic thoroughness. 

Four stars. This would be an excellent choice for public or school library acquisition, home reference, and gift purposes. 

Disclosure: I received an ARC at no cost from the author/publisher for review purposes.
