PRLog (Press Release) - Aug 05, 2011 - History comes alive in this stunning epic about the heroes of antiquity. Journey back to 301 BC: it is 22 years after the death of Alexander the Great, and a young king named Pyrrhus is about to enter the world stage as two armies prepare for battle. He will later be described by Hannibal as the finest commander the world has seen, after Alexander. This phenomenal book is more a story than a history, yet it is based on fact and reaches out to make this period come alive for readers. A Pyrrhic Victory refers to a win that comes at such a high cost that it may well destroy the victor.
A Pyrrhic Victory recently won the Independent Publisher Book Awards top prize in the Historical Fiction – Military/War Category. Author Dr. Ian Crouch travelled to New York City where he was honored at a gala awards ceremony. More than 2,000 independent authors and publishers participated in the 2011 Independent Publisher Book Awards.
“Writing with great style, Dr. Crouch brings this ancient age to life once more; maintaining an expert balance between historical accuracy and creative imagination … The book takes up the story of the gallant Pyrrhus: the most worthy of all the successors to Alexander the Great, he is the vivid central character who guides us through his world … It is a journey detailed throughout with real authority, great care, and unflagging energy. Dr. Crouch succeeds splendidly in conveying a compelling interpretation of the lives and loves, the achievements and aspirations, of great men in a great age.” – Dr. Eoghan Maloney, lecturer in ancient history at the University of Adelaide
