In the final moments of the Spanish Civil War, fifty prominent Nationalist prisoners are executed by firing squad. Among them is the writer and fascist Rafael Sanchez Mazas.

The branches move and he finds himself looking into the eyes of a militiaman, and faces death for the second time that day. But the unknown soldier simply turns and walks away. Sanchez Mazas becomes a national hero and the soldier disappears into history. As Cercas sifts the evidence to establish what happened, he realises that the true hero may not be Sanchez Mazas at all, but the soldier who chose not to shoot him. Who was he? Why did he spare him? And might he still be alive?

The thing is astonishingly human... and as unaffectedly dramatic as though he had drawn his material from the modern world." --- The New York Tribune "The novel reproduces Greek life, and the events of the Persian invasion brilliantly and with correctness... Mr. Davis has even surpassed his previous efforts in highly imaginative work." --- Boston Budget At the time of original publication in 1907, William Stearns Davis was Professor of Ancient History, University of Minnesota.

"As a historian of the Persian wars Mr. Mackenzie has two major qualifications, his love of Herodotus and his own experience in Greece during the late War....Much of the charm of the book lies in the author's ability to illustrate geography or parallel incidents. A compact and moving little book."---Times Literary Supplement"A straightforward narrative, pleasantly written."---Journal of Hellenic StudiesThe defeat of the Persian army and navy by the Greek city-states at the battles of Marathon and Salamis in 490 and 480 B.C. ended Persia's attempt to conquer southeastern Europe and with it the direct influence of Asia in the development of a European culture. Both battles and their surrounding actions, including the legendary stand of 300 Greek Hoplites at Thermopylae and the final battle on the plain at Plataea, continue to be a source of fascination, as does their significance in the history of the West. Following these victories, the Greek city-states began their complex but unfettered development into what is now known as a "classical period," with an unparalled explosion of intellectual advancements in the arts, sciences, and philosophy that form the backbone of Western civilization and ideals. Until these battles, Persia was the literate world's cultural and political focal point, and while Persia would continue to exert its power and influence for centuries, it would no longer have a presence in Europe, where Greek and subsequently Roman power would shape the future of the continent.Originally published as part of the "Great Occasions" series, this is the first paperback edition of this lively and engaging work.

In the final moments of the Spanish Civil War, a writer and founding member of Franco's Fascist Party is about to be shot, and yet miraculously escapes into the forest.
