Very well translated and although clearly academic it is also highly readable. It is clear, informative and very much worth a read.

A fascinating look at the conflict between the Greek and Persian armies full of information and insights i highly recommend

This book is a perfect follow up for anyone who has read Herodotus. I have always felt that of all the ancient historians Herodotus was the most readable as long as you took somethings with a grain of salt. This book helps with that aspect. I would strongly reccomend it for any lover of Herodotus.

A long book. Good for those who have an interest in Herodotus, Persian war or that area. Nice analysis of his work.

As a history teacher and classicist I was thrilled to get a copy of this book and I was not disappointed. The subject is treated sensitively and with great understanding. The author I believe is a military historian and the insights he offers are fascinating.
