I highly recommend that book. When you read it, you see the same follies we engage in today, being played out 2500 years ago. As I tell my students, "there ain't nothing new under the sun, times change but human nature does not..." I even use an old card game called "Nuclear War" with my classes. It's a Cold War classic, beer and pretzels game that is meant to be satirical and funny. The kids get a kick out of playing it and "nuking" their classmates. It serves the purpose of demonstrating to my students though, that Sparta went to war over fear of Athens' growing power. The kids play a game they enjoy and they learn a timeless lesson in geopolitics.
