Mission to Marathon
Buy the book from:
A young runner carries urgent information as Athens prepares to meet a Persian invasion at Marathon. The mission crosses communities divided over strategy, alliance and the risks of defending the new democracy.
Trease places the famous battle within the communications and political decisions that made resistance possible. The story distinguishes later legend from the practical demands placed on messengers, soldiers and citizens.
