Title: Propaganda only a Spartan could love
Product review: I think it's high time that somebody wrote the truth about Sparta. Thanks mostly to writers like Pressfield, we somehow get the idea that these guys were basically ancient versions of ideal American combat buddies. Actually, the Spartans were possibly the least understandable of all the Greeks. Their society was a tyranny. They enslaved other Greeks. They mercilessly crushed democracies wherever they developed. What exactly do modern, freedom-loving Americans have to like about these guys?I recommend everyone go out and read some reputable non-fiction about Spartan society, not a whitewash like this.
