Gates of Fire: An Epic Novel of the Battle of Thermopylae by Steven PressfieldMy review
rating: 5 of 5 stars
This book was an amazing look at the battle of Thermopylae. I'm going through the Marine Corps reading list with my husband, and I couldn't agree with them more for this pick. The principles and ideas the Spartans held to are the ideal of the warrior. I even cried.

... adding this one to my "must read" list - sounds terrific!
Yeah, I feel like a dolt though, it just finally clicked in my brain today that the King Xerxes in this is the same Kink Xerxes that made Esther queen of Persia! *blush*
I may have to get this for the Marines in my life.....
Do it! They should be reading these anyway! But this one is amazing. That's actually a good idea for you, is look up the reading list, and then you have easy gifts. ;)
