If the question about the Trojan War is, "What's love got to do with it?" the answer is probably, "Nothing." So argues talented historian and classic professor Straus, who combines information gleaned from Homer's epics with archaeology and ancient texts to weave a lively, readable account of the true motivatations and politics behind this legendary conflict.  (GRE296, $15.99)
