A fantastic book which perfectly merges real history with great fiction. Pressfield has managed to slot his narrative and his characters seamlessly between historic events and characters.
A great read and an instant classic!
Borrowed out my original copy and never got it back - they must have loved it too.
Had to replace when I saw this offer.
If you know the history or seen the film (300) then this is the book for you - does wonders for your imagination; it might even inspire you to read Homer's Iliad or The Oddessey.
Happy Reading.
