The Battle of Salamis: The Naval Encounter that Saved Greece — and Western Civilization 

byBarry Strauss

The Battle of Salamis is Barry Strauss's historical account of the Naval Encounter that Saved Greece: and Western Civilization. Its account follows central actors and turning points while showing how the story reflects questions in the wider field of history. Specific examples keep the larger argument tangible and reveal why familiar explanations do not always account for the full story. Together, these elements make The Battle of Salamis an accessible guide to the subject and the questions it continues to raise.
