Title: Weak and disappointing
Product review: I was very disappointed in this book; it didn't integrate research and character well. We all know the story of the Sacred Band of Thebes. This book presents nothing new, and presents it without enough muscle or force of narrative. The training and battle scenes are weak. It presents itself as nonfiction in its title and cover treatment and that can be misleading.
