Sample Book Insights: #1 The occupying Persians began the laborious task of destroying the stone shrines and temples and torching homes in Athens. They finished off a few Athenian holdouts still barricaded on the Acropolis. Meanwhile, Xerxes drew up his fleet nearby at the Athenian harbor of Phaleron. #2 Xerxes’ invasion of Greece was a textbook example of momentum and glory, as the king had enjoyed for six months. His huge spring and summer expeditions had rolled out with little resistance, and his army and navy were not just bent on punishing the Greeks in battle, but on absorbing them into the Persian Empire. #3 The Battle of Salamis was a huge victory for the Greeks, but it was also a sign of how divided they were as a coalition. The sea powers Corinth and Aegina were historical rivals, and yet they were both enemies of the Athenians. #4 The salvation of Athenian civilization depended on the vision of a single firebrand, who was widely despised, and an uncouth commoner. Themistocles had previously failed twice up north at Tempe and Artemisium to stop the advance of Xerxes’ army.

Book excerpt: Examining nine landmark battles from ancient to modern times--from Salamis, where outnumbered Greeks devastated the slave army of Xerxes, to Cortes’s conquest of Mexico to the Tet offensive--Victor Davis Hanson explains why the armies of the West have been the most lethal and effective of any fighting forces in the world. Looking beyond popular explanations such as geography or superior technology, Hanson argues that it is in fact Western culture and values–the tradition of dissent, the value placed on inventiveness and adaptation, the concept of citizenship–which have consistently produced superior arms and soldiers. Offering riveting battle narratives and a balanced perspective that avoids simple triumphalism, Carnage and Culture demonstrates how armies cannot be separated from the cultures that produce them and explains why an army produced by a free culture will always have the advantage.
