Read this one for a more realistic, intimate version of the movie 300. The Battle of Thermoplyae is one of history's most famous upsets- a few hundred Spartans defeated the entire Persian army. Pressfield did a great job of engaging his readers with characters that we should care about, and building the type of suspense needed to set the table for one dynamite of a battle. I still feel drawn to the story of Xeo and his sister to this day, and that's something that every powerful book needs to do.
