In 480 BCE, Persian king Xerxes led a massive invasion of Greece. A critical point in this invasion was the battle for the pass at Thermopylae (“Hot Gates” in Greek). Xerxes had amassed one of the largest armies yet known to man, while Leonidas’s troops were a small fraction of the Persian horde. Despite the overwhelming odds, Leonidas and his men stood their ground for three days in a historic display of patriotism and courage. In Thermopylae: Battle for the West, acclaimed author Ernle Bradford covers the entire era of the invasion, from the foundation of the Persian empire to the accession of Darius, all the way to the final, bloody battles.

From May18 to September 11 in 1565 The Ottoman navy and Army attempted to capture the fortress of the Knights of Saint John on Malta. They failed, and this is an account of why.
Excellent. Historically accurate and narratively enthralling, this book inspires me to courage and fortitude in defense of my faith. Inspiring... is the perfect descriptor. I would definitely recommend this to myself to read it again.

Descriptions of siege, casualties on both sides, heavy bombardment and overall destruction are very vivid.
Highly recommended for military (and general) history buffs.
