I'm currently about two thirds through this book, and I love it. It concerns the Battle of Thermopolae when 300 Spartans and their allies defended the narrow pass at Thermopolae against the invading Persian army.
It's an excellent read and brings a real personal touch to one of the most famous battles of antiquity.
Also on a similar note, be sure and read Frank Miller's graphic novel about the same subject... 300.
A movie version of 300 is being filmed as we speak by the way, and is looking good so far! Can't wait to see it.
