About the book

The momentous struggle between Athens and Persia as rival powers and political systems will last for twenty-seven years (431 to 404 BC). It will end in the fall of Athens.

Filled with cunning political scheming, astonishing military prowess, invasions, treacheries, plagues, ambitions, virtues, and emotions and a lot of intrigue, Conn Iggulden brings to life one of the most thrilling chapters of the ancient world.
