I had seen the book The War of Art: Winning the Inner Creative Battle by Steven Pressfield recommended by quite a few experts in the field of creativity and productivity. I finally got around to putting it on hold at the library, and I eventually worked my way to the top. That should tell you something considering the book was released in 2002, and it still had a hold backlog. After finishing ...             Gates of Fire658 reviews Steven Pressfield Doubleday, 1998 Captivating! Although the martial nature of this book makes blood, guts and foul language seem appropriate, an edited copy might be in line here for the young or tender. That said, the story is absolutely captivating. I feel like I was there. Not only has Pressfield painted an accurate picture of Herodotus' account, he has filled in the lines with a realistic story line that forces the reader to think ...             Tides of War124 reviews Steven Pressfield Bantam, 2001 Mr Pressfield did his homework "Tides of War" by Steven Pressfield, ©2000 This historical novel is very good. Mr Pressfield did his homework to write this book. I am not schooled in the intricacies of ancient history, but you got the feeling that this was an accurate book. The speeches he recorded and the notions he has the characters express, to my understanding, seem like ones that would have been found back then. It ...             The Legend of Bagger Vance93 reviews Steven Pressfield Bantam Books, 2001 Amazing book This book was absolutely astonishing. The explosive visualizations that it induces and the heart pounding, page turning dialogue make you want to read the whole thing in one sitting. The mystery in the characters is so awesome. The messages are very real and do apply. Read this book, it WILL become one of your favorites.             Gates of Fire4 reviews Steven Pressfield Bantam Books, 2000 Absolutely Incredible This is quite possibly the most incredible book that i've ever read. On an epic scale, the true story told through a fictional character's eyes is spellbinding and gritty. The reality of it is difficult to grasp, but Pressfield's vivid description and brilliant conveyance of emotion is captured in each line and will keep you enthralled until the end. The beginning is a bit slow, but the rest ...             Blood Stripes: The Grunt's View of the War in Iraq23 reviews David J. Danelo Stackpole Books, 2006 Real People, Real War BLOOD STRIPES, as you learn in the book, are the red stripes that an NCO in the Marine Corps is permitted to wear on the outside of their blue pants. You also learn how they came about - and I'm not going to give it away. What I will say is that this book teaches you things about the Marine Corps and the men who are the backbone of the Corps - the Grunts - that you could only learn by going ...             Alexander76 reviews Steven Pressfield BANTAM PAPERBACKS (T, 2005 Pressfield Does it again. I read Pressfield's Fantastic "Gates of Fire" and this is a close second. I have also read Valario Manfredi's supurb Trilogy on Alexander. This story is even more gripping. Also to all those who are dissapointed in the non-gayness of this book: There is absolutely no evidence that Alexander had a gay relationship with Hephastion. All that is mentioned by the ancient authors is that they were ...             Last of the Amazons50 reviews Steven Pressfield Doubleday, 2002 Is it? When you have white space before you, a magnificent book beside you, there develops a reluctance to begin. What if you cannot do the book justice? But throw that question aside and begin. No faint heart for an Amazon or one who reveres Amazons. "Last of the Amazons" is a magnificent book worthy of only the most devout reader. Brave, bold, courageous, fierce. Think of every bold word you can. ...             The Afghan Campaign: A Novel66 reviews Steven Pressfield Broadway, 2007 Excellent military historical fiction Steven Pressfield is one of the best military history fiction writers around. I was introduced to him by "Killing Rommel", which is set in WWII. "Afghan Campaign" is set in about 320 BCE with Alexander the Great engaged in attempting to subdue the tribes in what is present-day Afghanistan. I don't know enough about the era, Alexander or military tactics of the time to comment on whether ...             Killing Rommel50 reviews Steven Pressfield Recorded Books, 2008 Highly recommended. By far this is one of the best World War II novels I have read. This was the first book I have read by Pressfield and will look into reading his prior works but I mostly enjoy reading novels about the war. The characters are well defined, rich personable and real. I rate the war "action" and realism also as one of the best I have read. I loved the topic and story about the Long Range Desert ...             The Afghan Campaign Steven Pressfield Doubleday, 2007             The Afghan Campaign, Steven Pressfield (Hardcover) Steven Pressfield, 2007 The Afghan Campaign, Steven Pressfield (Hardcover)             The Afghan Campaign Steven Pressfield Bantam Books Ltd, 2008             Gita on the Green: The Mystical Tradition Behind Bagger Vance5 reviews Steven Pressfield Continuum International Publishing Group, 2000 Bagger Meets Krishna Review A Review of Gita on the Green: The Mystical Tradition Behind Bagger Vance By Steven J.
