Editorial Reviews

…Castleden’s revisionist account of the story of Troy remains a most insightful treatment of the seemingly mythic events that make up part of the foundation of Western history. The Attack on Troy is an excellent book for anyone interested in the story of Troy, ancient literature, or war in the Bronze Age.
