The Killing Grounds: Thermopylae
Thursday, 12 June, 2025

There is a place, a narrow strip of land, where bravery and sacrifice became legendary... where the famed ‘300’ laid down their lives to save Hellas in 480 BC...But that is not the only battle in which blood was shed at Thermopylae...Dr. Michael Livingston and Myke Cole discuss their recently released book "The Killing Ground: A Biography of Thermopylae" and discover the chilling stories found on this particular field...We not only look at the history of the ‘killing grounds’ but also into the heart of warfare itself: the motivations of those who fight, the strategies they employ, and the horrifying price they have to pay.
