Enjoyable -- and Readable -- History
|
| Strauss brings the ancient sources to life with this well researched account of one of the greatest naval battles of all time. The book reads like a novel, with rich color and great details. But Strauss also keeps true to the historical details, with well documented and well reasoned interpretations, an appendix of sources, and a detailed bibliography guaranteed to satisfy even the most finicky reader. The characters and the story are compelling and the story moves at a rapid pace. The author's familiarity not only with Greece's landscape and history, but also with the mechanics of rowing, make this book a treat for historians and athletes alike. |
