Gates of Fire is all about brotherhood, camaraderie, integrity and grit told through the Spartan’s perspective. Anyone that’s ever been around a group of hard charging knuckle draggers can relate to Pressfield’s words, and the sick, twisted and warped sense of humor that comes in the face of adversity.
While it’s been a little over 10 years since it’s first publishing, the words still ring true…
Gates of Fire was written long before the hype of the movie 300, and in our opinion is a much better recount of the battle, but there’s no denying 300 was a hell of a movie!
