Herodotus
The persian war lasted way longer the the peloponnesian war and the persian wars was a whole bunch of different mini wars
I would think that all wars share similarities such as suffering , greed , human pride , the desire for power , jealousy . The first thing that came to mind when your question was posted was Thucydides' "History of the Peloponnesian War" in which the reader sees encapsulated the politics , the debates , the human endeavour to prevail over the enemy and the tragedy of war in it's terror and suffering of the common man when stirred by nationalism and patriotism .
The Peloponnesian Wars
The Peloponnesian War , 431 to 404 BC , was a series of conflicts between colaitions of city-states - Athens and its allies and Sparta and its allies.

he wrote the history of Persian wars and tried to separate fact from legend
Thucydides was a Athenian historian who is often considered the "first historian", the first to document his sources and to interview witnesses to the events that he described. When he was speculating as to how things may have happened, he SAID that these were recreations and speculations. His "The History of the Peloponnesian War" tried - and to a great extent, succeeded, in laying out a chronological description of the events of the wars between the various city-states. (Note: back then, there was no nation called "Greece", or even "Hellas". The various city-states were independent, and often warred with each other. Thucydides does a great job of explaining the internal struggles.
