Summary: An Interesting Look At This Time Period!
Comment: Mr. Green has taken a very interesting look at a subject that occured long ago. He has managed to cover this military conflict and do so in such a way that it's informative but at the same time will hold the reader's interest.
This is a very indepth analysis of this conflict and nothing is left out. The reader will have a full understanding of all of the different aspects. When necessary Mr. Green explains his feelings on Herodotus' comments and observations.
This is an interesting look at a conflict that took place centuries ago. Whether you are reading for pleasure or this is a text for a class you will come away with a better understanding of this military conflict.

Summary: AMAZING!!! Completely compelling and intriguing!
Comment: Green does an amazing job of recounting the Greco-Persian Wars in a way that is not mind-numbing or revisionistic. I found this book refreshing and validates the brilliance and fortitude of character of the ancient Greeks. This book captures the true essence of the Greek struggle against Persian aggression and demonstrates the awe-inspiring achievement of the Greeks. The quintessential "David and Goliath" with all the heroism and bravery that one would find in any epic war novel. I laud Green's ability to draw his reader into an ancient struggle for freedom, the outcome of which establishes the foundation for which the political ideology of Western civilization is based.

Summary: Boring
Comment: Horrible. I forced myself to read it for 2 entire days and could hardly keep awake. I kept thinking it would pickup, but it never did. The style is in essay format, which takes the excitement away from this book. I think if the author imagined that the audience might not be his students at Texas University, he would have given a bit more credit to the readers. Check it first in your local library if you don't believe me.
