In 2022 it will be 2,500 years since the final defeat of the invasion of Greece by the Persian King Xerxes. This clash between East and West still has resonances in modern history, and has left us with tales of heroic resistance in the face of seemingly hopeless odds. Kershaw makes use of recent archaeological and geological discoveries in this thrilling and timely retelling of the story, originally told by Herodotus, the Father of History.
