Blood Stripes: The Grunt's View of the War in Iraq

David J. Danelo

Stackpole Books, 2006

Real People, Real War
BLOOD STRIPES, as you learn in the book, are the red stripes that an NCO in the Marine Corps is permitted to wear on the outside of their blue pants. You also learn how they came about - and I'm not going to give it away. What I will say is that this book teaches you ...

Last of the Amazons

Steven Pressfield

Bantam, 2003

Is it?
When you have white space before you, a magnificent book beside you, there develops a reluctance to begin. What if you cannot do the book justice? But throw that question aside and begin. No faint heart for an Amazon or one who reveres Amazons. "Last of the Amazons" ...

The Afghan Campaign: A Novel

Steven Pressfield

Broadway, 2007

Excellent military historical fiction
Steven Pressfield is one of the best military history fiction writers around. I was introduced to him by "Killing Rommel", which is set in WWII. "Afghan Campaign" is set in about 320 BCE with Alexander the Great engaged in attempting to subdue the tribes in what is ...

The Legend of Bagger Vance: A Novel of Golf and the Game of Life

Steven Pressfield

Harper Paperbacks, 1999

Amazing book
This book was absolutely astonishing. The explosive visualizations that it induces and the heart pounding, page turning dialogue make you want to read the whole thing in one sitting. The mystery in the characters is so awesome. The messages are very real and do apply. ...

Killing Rommel: A Novel

Steven Pressfield

Doubleday, 2008

A truly extraordinary piece of military historical writing
I'm an admirer of the author's five previous books dealing with war and military life in the ancient world -- but that's where my own academic background is and I understand what's happening perhaps better than most readers. I wasn't sure about this one, though, which ...

The Virtues of War: A Novel of Alexander the Great

Steven Pressfield

Bantam, 2005

There's a *reason* Alexander is still remembered
This superior historical novel really ought to be read before his latest one, _The Afghan Campaign,_ which enlarges on one of Alexander's later campaigns, and from a different perspective -- but they're really two separate narratives, so no harm done if (like me) you ...

The Legend of Bagger Vance
Steven Pressfield

William Morrow and Company, 1995

A new novel with the them of "golf and the game of life".

Tides of War

Steven Pressfield

Bantam, 2001

Mr Pressfield did his homework
"Tides of War" by Steven Pressfield, ©2000 This historical novel is very good. Mr Pressfield did his homework to write this book. I am not schooled in the intricacies of ancient history, but you got the feeling that this was an accurate book. The speeches he ...

Buy this book!!!
The story is focused around the Persian invasion of Greece and the battle of Thermopylae. I found that this book brought me closer to the main characters more than any other book I have ever read. Stephen Pressfield has mastered character creation and has captured the ...

The War of Art: Break Through the Blocks and Win Your Inner Creative Battles

As fierce as it gets
I have purchased ten copies of this book, and I imagine I will be ordering more, to give to all of my artist friends. This is a powerful book that inspires the reader to take bold leaps in their creative journeys...it has become my artistic manifesto!

Gates of Fire

Steven Pressfield

Bantam Books, 2000

GREAT STORY - BEAUTIFULLY TOLD!
Everybody dies. So did these 300 Greeks. But the world will never forget their choice of death. It is incorrect that the battle at Thermopylae changed the course of history. That was the battle at Marathon, some years before, when the Greek cities were unprepared ...

Gates of Fire - An Epic Novel of the Battle of Thermopylae
Steven Pressfield

Recorded Books w/ Doubleday Dell Audio, 1999

"Go tell the Spartans, stranger passing by, that here obedient to their laws we lie." Thus reads an ancient stone at Thermopylae in northern Greece, the site of one of the world's greatest battles for freedom. Here, in 480 B.C., on a narrow mountain pass above the crystalline Aegean, 300 Spartan knights and their allies faced the massive forces of ...
