Reviews
Praise forTides of War: "Pressfield's attention to historic detail is exquisite, but he shines brightest in his graphic and brutal descriptions of battle and its horrific affects on soldier and civilian alike. This novel will remain with the reader long after the final chapter is finished." --Library Journal "Pressfield is a masterful storyteller, especially adept in his graphic and embracing  descriptions of the land and naval battles, political intrigues and colorful personalities, which come together in an intense and credible portrait of war-torn Greece." --Publishers Weekly "On every page are color, splendor, sorrow, the unforgiving details of battle, daily life, and of the fighter's lot. Unabashedly brilliant, epic, intelligent, and moving." --Kirkus Reviews "As he did inGates of Fire...Pressfield serves up not just hair-raising battle scenes...but many moments of valor  and valor and cowardice, lust and bawdy humor. Even more impressively, he delivers a nuanced portrait of ancient Athens, complete with political skullduggery, overarching ambitions, and reflections on the nature of leadership and the pitfalls of imperialism." --Esquire Praise forGates of Fire: An Epic Novel of the Battle of Thermopylae "Pressfield's powerful, historically accurate novel explores Spartan society and the nature of courage without ever losing its narrative momentum." --The New Yorker "A first-rate storyteller with a first-rate story to tell. It is truly epic." --Margaret George, author ofThe Memoirs of Cleopatra "Intricate and arresting and, once begun, almost impossible to put down." --New York Daily News "Pressfield brings the battle of Thermopylae to brilliant life, and he does for that war what Charles Frazier did for the Civil War inCold Mountain." --Pat Conroy "Fascinating and exciting...worthy of the top prizes in literature." --Abilene Reporter-News "A tale worthy of Homer, a timeless epic of man and war exquisitely researched and boldly written. Pressfield has created a new classic deserving of a place beside the very best of the old." --Stephen Coonts "An incredibly gripping, moving, and literate work of art." --Nelson DeMille

Synopsis
InTides of War, Steven Pressfield brings the historical precision and heartbreaking human scale that made his previous novelGates of Firean international bestseller to an even more epic saga of Greek strife and conflict. One man. Two armies. The fate of the ancient world in the balance. If history is the biography of extraordinary men, the life of Alcibiades (451-404 B.C.) comprises an indispensable chapter in the chronicle of the Western world. Kinsman of Pericles, protégé of Socrates, Alcibiades was acknowledged the most brilliant and charismatic personality of his day. Plutarch, Plato, and Thucydides have all immortalized him. As the pride of Achilles drove the course of the Trojan War, so Alcibiades' will and ambition set their stamp upon the Peloponnesian War--the twenty-seven-year civil conflagration between the Athenian empires, Sparta, and the Peloponnesian league. As a commander on land and sea, Alcibiades was never defeated. The destinies of Athens and her favored son were inextricably intertwined. Man and city mirrored each other in boldness, ambition, and vulnerability. Allied, they swept from victory to victory. Apart, he guided her foes to glory. Of the spell Alcibiades cast over his contemporaries, Aristophanes wrote that Athens "loves, and hates, and cannot do without him." To the end, their renown and ruin were indissoluble. Recounted by Alcibiades' captain of marines in a mesmerizing death-row confession,Tides of Waris historical fiction at its finest--a multidimensional, flesh-and-blood renarration of one of history's pivotal conflicts.

    Package shipped fairly quick. Unfortunately, the book suffered some minor damage during shipping due to limited protection in normal bubble mailer. Would be great if expensive books were shipped well protected to avoid handling damage by the mail carriers.
