Description
Within the early 5th century BC, after the autumn of the Lydian Empire, the Persian Wars started. It was once an ideological conflict which pitted a proud, democratic, freedom-loving other people against a tyrannical and mighty empire. The stories of the numerous battles fought between the Greeks and the Persians are here spendidly brought to life by Jack Cassin-Scott, who main points the tactics, organisation and uniforms of the armies of each side in a volume featuring a lot of illustrations and museum photographs, plus eight full page colour plates superbly drawn by the writer himself.
