"Barry Strauss is the Patrick O'Brian of the Persian-Greek war that
set the course of western history. He builds a cast-of-thousands
classical drama as exciting as any modern epic on a base of
astounding detail."
-- Dava Sobel, author of Longitude and Galileo's Daughter
"In the hands of Cornell University historian Barry Strauss, the
story of the battle is a military epic of the first order."
-- Michael Kenney, The Boston Globe
"This account of [the Battle of Salamis] by a history professor who
is an expert on naval warfare with a gift for vivid narrative
brings it, in all its suspense, its complications, its surprises
and its cast of extraordinary characters, to fervent and turbulent
life."
-- Bernard Knox, The Washington Post Book World
