Reviews

"...a really engaging book about this important era and the pivotal combats that took place on Greek soil. I can recommend this publication without the slightest hesitation not only for the military historian but also for the modeler looking for some inspiration for his or her next Ancient period diorama. Fascinating!" --IPMS / USA
