The volumes of The Greek State at War are an essential reference for the classical scholar. Professor Pritchett has systematically canvased ancient texts and secondary literature for information on specific topics; earlier volumes explored military practices, military organization, the role of religion, phalanx fighting, and burial customs. In Part V he takes up stone throwers, slingers, and booty.

"Pritchett's Greek State at War is one of the monuments of classical scholarship in our time... a work that every student of Greek history will consult whenever he is concerned with war in the Greek world. No ancient historian can possibly do without it.... The massivity of the learning is breathtaking. The implications of [the work] extend in many directions-into Greek psychology, religion, political thinking—and students will be kept busy for a long time in considering them in detail." Sir Moses Finley.
