Xerxes Invades Greece (Penguin Epics)
$8.95
Looking for a good classical read on the plane? Want solid action between the forces of East and West? Then buy the original Herodotus, and pass on this highly condensed version of the same.

I'd hoped that this would be the last few books (7 and 8) detailing the highlights of Xerxes campaigns in Greece, where his primary opponents were the Athenians and Spartans. I was particularly interested in rereading the battle of Pylae, or Thermopylae, as romanticized in the recent movie, 300.

Instead this book bounces from excerpt to excerpt without annotation, leaving out some of the best tidbits from Herodotus's own commentary.

My recommendation - buy the full translation and lug it about. It's worth every ounce.
