About the Book

The three-day battle for the pass at the "Hot Gates" of Thermopylae was a critical contest in the Persian king Xerxes's massive invasion of Greece. The bloody stand made there by Leonides and his small Spartan army in 480 BC has since become the very emblem of patriotism, courage and sacrifice.
