4.0 out of 5 stars For Me Personally, the Tide Ebbed a Little, 2 May 2007
By J. Chippindale (England) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)   

As a great lover of Ancient History books, both fact and fiction, I was recommended to read Gates of Fire. A book about one of the greatest stands against insurmountable odds that has ever taken place in military history. Certainly in Ancient Greece. I found the book, exciting, fast paced and extremely enjoyable. Understandably I could not wait to get my hands on Tides of War.

Although the book was quite enjoyable and well written, I just did not get the buzz out of it that I had got from Gates of Fire. At times the story dragged a little, almost to the point of boredom. I'm not sure why, but it just did not have the sparkle of the previous one.

Steven Pressfield is still a master at drawing his reader into the story and his descriptions of battle and warfare techniques are second to none. Almost to the point of leaving the reader sweating with fear and exhaustion at the brutal and barbarous battle tactics used in these ancient encounters.

It would certainly be unfair to decry the book as a bad novel. It just had something lacking for me, personally. I am sure many people will think it is a terrific read and I hope they do.

5.0 out of 5 stars He died early, 9 Jun 2000
This review is from: Tides of War: a Novel of Alcibiades and the Peloponnesian War (Hardcover)
Alkibiades strategy in field of war is very known. His pattern/tactic "triangular shape of soldiers" is unique. I have seen the same pattern in movie "... the war between North and South of England ..." "Alkibiades the just" is another side of his personality.
