Persian Fire – Tom Holland (Secondhand)
Secondhand copy in pristine condition - slightly yellowed pages
Tom Holland's bestselling account of the world's very first clash of civilisations between the Persians and the Greeks in 480BC
In the fifth century BC, a global superpower was determined to bring truth and order to what it regarded as two terrorist states. The superpower was Persia, incomparably rich in ambition, gold and men.
The terrorist states were Athens and Sparta, eccentric cities in a poor and mountainous backwater: Greece. The story of how their citizens took on the most powerful man on the planet is as heart-stopping as any episode in history.
