Holland reconstructs the legendary clashes at Thermopylae and Salamis, revealing how a handful of fiercely independent city-states resisted the greatest empire the world had yet seen, helping forge the idea of the West.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eDominion: The Making of the Western Mind\u003c\/em\u003e takes the longest view, arguing that even in an ostensibly secular age, Western moral assumptions remain profoundly shaped by two thousand years of Christian thought. Holland traces this influence from the ancient world to the present, showing how ideas about human dignity, equality, and conscience have Christian roots that run far deeper than most readers realise.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Benefits\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThree critically acclaimed works of narrative history from a Sunday Times bestselling author\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCovers Roman, Persian, and Christian history — a broad, complementary sweep of the ancient and post-ancient world\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWritten in Holland's signature vivid, accessible style — ideal for general readers and students alike\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGreat value paperback set, perfect for gifting to history lovers or graduates\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEach title stands alone, but together they build a richer picture of how the classical and Christian worlds shaped modern thought\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nTom Holland is a British historian, author, and broadcaster known for bestselling works of narrative history including \u003cem\u003eRubicon\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003ePersian Fire\u003c\/em\u003e, and \u003cem\u003eDominion\u003c\/em\u003e.
