Hoping for some insight.

Well I do look forward to reading any new Osprey book about Spartan Warriors that: (a) perhaps tells me something I didn't already know; (b) helps put right the deficiencies of the Sekunda Osprey book; © has some nice new images of warriors through the various centuries

That's quite a wish list, Howard! hock:

I can see your title finishes with the period of Megalopolis and Agis III, which is one of the worthy and notable chapter-endings in Spartan history, so I can't argue with that.

Also, please note that it's in Osprey's "Warrior" series. They specifically requested me to write a book about the lifestyle of the Spartan Warrior, not battles and campaigns (and not specifically the army, as they're happy with Nick Sekunda's "Elite" series title).

I guess when it hits the fan (er, the shops) on 24 July, we'll see if I've succeeded. :neutral:
