Story4.5 out of 5 stars 105
The Trojan War is the most famous conflict in history, the subject of Homer's Iliad, one of the cornerstones of Western literature. Although many listeners know that this literary masterwork is based on actual events, there is disagreement about how much of Homer's tale is true. Drawing on recent archaeological research, historian and classicist Barry Strauss explains what really happened in Troy more than 3,000 years ago. For many years it was thought that Troy was an insignificant place that never had a chance against the Greek warriors who laid siege and overwhelmed the city.

There’s a lot of facts. It has a good story though there are a lot of facts. The story starts on what it says is chapter four. And from there goes between facts, story, and more facts. In all it was good I’d say if you like facts it is really good if you want story not exactly this book.
