A long and bitter struggle, the Persian Wars pitted the Greek city-states against the Persian Empire for fifty years. From the plain of Marathon (490 BC), where Athenian hoplites routed the Persian troops, to the clash of Plataea (479 BC), which marked the end of hostilities on Greek soil, Peter Green makes this vast series of bloody conflicts intelligible and accessible.
From twists and turns to dramatic reversals, it recounts the daily lives of soldiers and citizens, military strategies and offensives, and sheds essential light on this major historical event, without which the history of Europe and Asia would have been different.
