À propos de cet audio

 Tom Holland's bestselling account of the world's very first clash of civilisations between the Persians and the Greeks in 480BC

'Magisterial... told with great authority and a novelistic colour and verve'
Books of the Year, Independent

'Holland has a rare eye for detail, drama and the telling anecdote'
Dominic Sandbrook, Daily Telegraph

'An unequivocal argument for the relevance of ancient history'
Observer

'Holland brings this tumultuous, epoch-making period dazzlingly to life'
William Napier, Independent on Sunday

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.©2005 Tom Holland (P)2019 Hachette Audio UK Ancienne

great work. a well balanced amount of attention is given to both the Persian Empire and the seperate nations of Greece. Holland has a great talent for making a gripping story, being a former science fiction writer. He's also great at writing about rather large spaces of history in a relatively short book. this book stretches from Cyrus the great to the end of the second Greco-Persian war, giving the optimal amounts of detail that makes the story exciting to read. his ability to do this makes him one of my favorite writers

Awesome book. I love Tom Holland
