In the early 5th century BC, after the fall of the
Lydian Empire, the Persian Wars began. It was an ideological conflict
which pitted a proud, democratic, freedom-loving people against a
tyrannical and mighty empire. The stories of the many battles fought
between the Greeks and the Persians are here splendidly brought to life
by Jack Cassin-Scott, who details the tactics, organisation and
uniforms of the armies of both sides in a volume featuring numerous
illustrations and museum photographs, plus eight full page colour
plates superbly drawn by the author himself.
