Title: A poor substitute
Product review: While beautifully drawn and arguably one of Miller's best works, this book is a prime example of surface over substance. The retellling here of the battle of Thermopylae simply does not do justice to one of history's greatest stories. If you really want to know these warriors--their loves, their fears, their training; if you really want to experience the battle so clearly that dust mixed with day old blood chokes your nostrils; if you want to understand the camraderie and leadership that puts the life of the man who's protected by your shield above your own, read the definitive work on the subject: GATES OF FIRE by Steven Pressfield.
