In the early 5th century BC, after the fall of the Lydian Empire, the Persian Wars began.
It was an ideological conflict which pitted a proud, democratic, freedom-loving people against a tyrannical and mighty empire. The stories of the many battles fought between the Greeks and the Persians are here splendidly brought to life by Jack Cassin-Scott.
The tactics, organisation and uniforms of the armies of both sides are detailed, alongside numerous illustrations and museum photographs, plus eight full-page colour plates superbly drawn by the author himself.
Jack Cassin-Scott's interests span a variety of historical periods. His books for Osprey Publishing include Men-at-Arms 69: The Greek and Persian Wars 500-323 BC and Men-at-Arms 102: Scandinavian Armies in the Napoleonic Wars.
