This is a facinating book! I am currently enrolled in professor Ferrill's class at the University of Washington on ancient military history. The course follows the book to a great degree and was the obvious insperation for the class. So think of it as not only reading a book, but also taking a class from one of the most influencial military historians alive. Furthermore, It is an well researched book and is very thoughtfully put together for all reader types. Of course the class is more in depth and personal, but reading the book is like having some of the most exciting stories ever told put into your hand. Who needs fiction, when we have stories like these? It is books like this that brought me to college!!!
