Title: History, Geography, Vocabulary with a high body count.
Product review: I got the title of this book from reading Lone Survivor. One of the Navy SEALS carried it with him. This is a similar story in that it is filled with bloody depictions of preparing for war and of fighting a losing cause. I read this book using an Atlas to find the places he was talking about. (Does anybody else do this?) You can learn a lot of geography that way. It brought back memories of a previous trip to Greece. The narrator is the lone survivor of the Battle of Thermoplae in 804 B.C. He is telling the tale to Xerxes, the king of Persia. Well-written and captivating reading.
