From the front flap, "Impeachment of government officials is a monitoring device that goes back a long way. Athenians in the fifth and fourth centuries were particularly addicted to impeachment trials, so much so that modern historians have traditionally viewed the Athenians as excessive and irrational in their expectations of their leaders. Jennifer Robert's study of accountability in Athenian government is the first to question these ancient and modern structures on the Athenian democracy's use of the machinery of control. She examines the laws which were framed to ensure the accountability of men in public office and discusses numerous cases where these laws were applied. The pattern that emerges from her findings is one that refutes the traditional view and offers a new perspective that will interest political scientists and historians of Ancient Greece.
