Full title: Persian Fire, The First World Empire and the Battle for the West
In the fifth century BC, a global superpower was determined to bring truth and order to what it regarded as two terrorist states. The superpower was Persia, incomparably rich in ambition, gold and men. The terrorist states were Athens and Sparta, eccentric cities in a poor and mountainous backwater: Greece. The story of how their citizens took on the most powerful man on the planet is as heart-stopping as any episode in history.
Condition
A good plus copy. There is a little light rubbing to the wrapper's edges, and a previous owner has underlined some proper names from the preface and first chapter, with a few marginal marks but otherwise in strong readable condition.
