I'm going to get this book because it combines two of my passions, rowing and ancient military history. It's about an older guy's (the authors) quest to take up rowing at a mature age. In reading some of the reviews, he somehow integrates ancient history in here. Sounds quite interesting.Has anyone heard of or read any of his books? He's a professor of history at Cornell.http://barrystrauss.com/
Thanks for all your responses. 😀 Just bought it from Amazon yesterday. Soon as I get it it's next on the cue. If it's as history related as advertised, I'll throw down a book review.Now watch. I bet Amazon will have free shipping or something on Cyber Monday. Oh well, shouldn't really complain. Book was only $1.69 used. (+ 3.99 shipping)
I don't think I've heard of him, but from the look of the book, it sounds like it's right up your alley. Your better question could have been – why not get it? Incidentally, I was on a trip during Thanksgiving and had less time to tend to the site. I'm glad you didn't wait for the ok from the rest of us to buy the book. 🙂
