The dramatic conclusion to this trilogy explains the reversal of
fortunes and final defeat of Xerxes' Persian invasion of Greece;
not as unlikely as usually presupposed. The focus is on the
successful repulse of the Persian massive armada at Salamis, a
resounding naval victory with parallels to the English defeat of
the Spanish Armada. Along with the backstage policies and
cloak-and-dagger events, the analysis of hard data of naval and
military realities and environment shows the reason for this
outcome and more so of the closely fought double campaign of the
following year that ended the Persian threat. The massive land
victory at Plataea that ousted the empire form mainland Greece and
crippled its armies, and the amphibious operation at Mycale that
destroyed the remnants of the royal Grand Armada and shut the doors
to further Persian incursions in Greece is examined in detail.
Manousos Kambouris examines in depth the plans, potential, assets
and liabilities of the two protagonists to explain command
decisions and developments in the field. This is a fine finale to
this fresh appraisal of these hugely significant events.
