The Virtues of War

Steven Pressfield brings ancient battles to life, but I wonder how much creative license he took to craft the narrative's flow. Was it a challenge to stay true to the historical record while making it engaging?

His relentless drive is impressive but also raises questions about the cost of ambition. What aspects of his character resonated or disturbed other readers?

Shifting to his point of view offers a personal glimpse into his mind, but I’m curious whether this was based on historical sources or a creative decision to deepen empathy.
