The cradle of western civilisation; the ancient Greek world; consisted of a series of independent city states some of which; such as Athens and Sparta; became major world powers. This authoritative volume by Nicholas Sekunda covers Greek warfare in the Classical Period; which stretches from the Greek victories over the Persian Empire to the death of Alexander the Great at the end of the 4th century. The book includes such famous battles such as Marathon; Thermopylae and Salamis and offers a detailed account of Greek military dress during this period; supported by 12 full colour plates by Angus McBride.

2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Very GoodBy Cathy KovesIf you are interested in this subject I thought it was very good. It gives both the big picture of what what happening in this community along with more specific examples; or 'color.' The only negative was that it was a bit dry at time. But it is a history book so what do you expect!
