About this product
Product Information
In 480 BC, a huge Persian army, led by the inimitable King Xerxes, entered the mountain pass of Thermopylae as it marched on Greece, intending to conquer the land with little difficulty. But the Greeks--led by King Leonidas and a small army of Spartans--took the battle to the Persians at Thermopylae, and halted their advance--almost. It is one of history's most acclaimed battles, one of civilization's greatest last stands. And in Thermopylae, renowned classical historian Paul Cartledge looks anew this history-altering moment and, most impressively, shows how its repercussions have bearing on us even today. The invasion of Europe by Xerxes and his army redefined culture, kingdom, and class. The valiant efforts of a few thousand Greek warriors, facing a huge onrushing Persian army at the narrow pass at Thermopylae, changed the way generations to come would think about combat, courage, and death.

I had been searching for this book for some time and when I saw this one listed I purchased it right away and the seller shipped it immediately. However, I ended up in the hospital unexpectedly so the package was returned. I contacted the seller and they reshipped again no charge, which was awesome as I offered to pay for second shipping. Would definitely buy from them again.

This might just be the first time I’ve ever bought anything on eBay & had it look even better than it did in the pictures.
Book quality is perfect (it’s about $15-20 for a beat up copy, so this is just great; I highly appreciate it.)
The seller shipped very, very quickly, & it is appreciated & commended as it would’ve arrived Wednesday instead of Monday, that is today.
Packaging is relatively thin, but that wasn’t a problem for me.
5/5 stars
