Description

"[Romm] deftly pieces the story together ... Mr. Romm negotiates artfully in fluent, accessible prose. But he really comes into his own when describing the Sacred Band’s dramatic and elegiac end."
—Wall Street Journal

A dramatic, compelling work of history about the last decades of Greek freedom before Alexander the Greats destruction of Thebes -- and the Theban battalion of warriors, composed of pairs of male lovers, that was the greatest military unit of the age.
