Title: As good as it gets in historical fiction!
Product review: I chanced on the authors latest work, Tides of War, a few weeks ago. Enjoying that novel, I decided to try the authors earlier work, Gates of Fire. What a find!The insights into Spartan mores, the deptiction of the characters, and in particular, the battle scenes, are among the most memorable I've come across. A long-time devotee of the "Sharpe's" series of novels, this was one of the few books whose narration and attention to detail equalled or exceeded those great tales.I've purchased this book as a gift, and recommended it to anyone I know who enjoys history, or simply a great rousing tale!
