It is one of historys most acclaimed battles, one of civilizations greatest last stands. And in Thermopylae, renowned classical historian Paul Cartledge looks anew this history-altering moment and, most impressively, shows how its repercussions have bearing on us even today. The invasion of Europe by Xerxes and his army redefined culture, kingdom, and class.

Annotation:
This modern-day account of the history-making wars between the Greeks and the Persians which culminated in the battle of Thermopylae in 480 B.C.E. , contains historical accuracy and context without sacrificing the compelling drama that has made these events legendary since they were first set down by the historian Herodotus. Paul Cartledge makes history come alive, as he explicitly shows how the events of yesterday still provide lessons for today.
