Customer Reviews
Thoroughly engrossing and educational
Great read, it’s a topic that really interests me, what happened when Rome’s elite soldiers meet Greece’s hoplites and the phalanx.
Well Ben tells this story brilliantly, great fight scenes, lots of blood and gore, interesting characters you can relate too, they like a beer.
Really looking forward to the next one, can’t wait, thank you.
