An account of the ancient battle between Persia and the alliance of Greek city-states, including the legendary "300 Spartans."
In 480 BCE, Persian king Xerxes led a massive invasion of Greece. A critical point in this invasion was the battle for the pass at Thermopylae-"Hot Gates" in Greek. Xerxes had amassed one of the largest armies yet known to man, while Leonidas's troops, a group of united Spartans, Thespians, Thebans, and others, including slaves, were a small fraction of the Persian horde.
Despite the overwhelming odds, Leonidas and his men stood their ground for three days in a historic display of patriotism and courage. In
Thermopylae: Battle for the West, acclaimed author Ernle Bradford covers the entire era of the invasion-from the foundation of the Persian empire to the accession of Darius all the way to the final, bloody battles-in a fascinating and accessible look at warfare in ancient times.
