Paul Cartledge's masterful Thermopylae: The Battle That Changed the World is the subject of an excellent review ("East v. West: The First Round) by Jasper Griffin in the December 6 issue of The New York Review of Books: "Paul Cartledge, professor of ancient history at Cambridge, gives a good account of this memorable expedition and its unforgettable failure . . . Cartledge does full justice to these events, which even the most pacific or unmilitary reader must find soul-shaking."
