Publisher's Summary:
Proud Xerxes, Emperor of Persia and King of Kings, invades Greece with a million soldiers. He commands thousands of ships and is supported by dozens of allies, among them the charming Queen Artemisia.
At Thermopylae, a rocky mountain pass in northern Greece, the feared and admired Spartan soldiers stood 300 strong. Theirs was a suicide mission, to hold the pass against the invading millions of the mighty Persian army.
Day after bloody day they withstood the terrible onslaught, buying time for the Greeks to rally their forces. Born into a cult of spiritual courage, physical endurance, and unmatched battle skill, the Spartans would be remembered for the greatest military stand in history. One that would not end until the rocks were awash with blood, leaving only one gravely injured Spartan squire to tell the tale.
Hear how the Spartans became the strongest warriors in history.

Some great facts about the Spartans and Xerxes
This book wasn't as dry as some of his others and I actually enjoyed it. It also gave more facts on the battles the Greeks and Spartans fought against the Persians, not really enhancing them. There were definitely some facts about Spartan women that I didn't know. They were nearly as much warriors as the men. Too bad the Spartans treated their Helots so badly and that they enforced that only original families could become warriors. It bit them in the butt. Overall, a good read and I recommend it for those who are interested in finding out more about the Spartans and Greeks of that period.
Spartans the true and brutal story.

It's really nice to be able to read facts about the Spartans ...
I watched the movie, 300 and the TV series, Spartacus. I've always been a huge fan of these kind of stories. It's really nice to be able to read facts about the Spartans and how they were like in ancient history. This book is pretty good. It is very comprehensive and interesting.
