What is Warrior in Bronze about?

Tells the story of how Agememnon used his cunning, courage, and prowess to become King of the Achaeans. Nearly a century ago George Shipway ended a classical education at Clifton which, after the fashion of the time, touched only briefly on Greek history before the foundation of the Spartan and Athenian city-states in 7th century BC. He brought away a vague curiosity about the Mycenaean Greeks whom Homer described and his tutors ignored - an interest subsequently subdued by two decades as an Indian Cavalry officer. From 1949-68 he taught at a boys preparatory school; and the scholastic ambience, together with successive archaeological revelations that in part confirmed the evidence of Homer's poems, aroused his latent desire for knowledge of a period which to him had so far remained obscure. He travelled extensively in Greece and Crete, and combined his classical and military training in an attempt to extract a core of solid historical truth from the legends of the Greek Heroic Age.
