A deeper look into the Trojan War

In studying the topic of mythology for one of my recent college courses, I picked up this book along with Homer's "The Iliad" for class. What a great companion to have together for a better understanding of the events that took place, and it goes way beyond what the various interpretations of the poetry had to offer. I can't wait to read more of this author's in depth and historical research.
