At WalMart tonight I picked up a special collector’s issue (it sez here) from the editors of “Military History” magazine; it’s “Bronze Brains & Blood” subtitled “The Battles, Weapons, Conquerors, Strategies, & Heroes in Ancient Greece and Rome that gave us Civilization”. The website turned up bupkis. Here’s the search link.

Anyway, it’s kinda thin, and costs a hair-raising $5.99 (plus tax? Dunno, I also got a couple boxes of Whoppers), no idea really if it was a total waste of money. :’)

Thanks Civ, will check it out.
My favorite in this category is Gods With Bronze Swords by Costa de Loverdo. Way out of print I’m sure, but a gem. It tries to reconstruct ancient history from the myths. Lots of speculation to chew on, especially regarding the pre-Mycenean era and the colonies in the Western Mediterranean.

Google turned up this link, looks interesting, and you beat the online price to boot.
