Well I recommend reading Gates of Fire by Steven Pressfield.
It will give you insight of the Battle of Thermopylae through the eyes of a Spartan soldier, and detailed accounts of their training from birth to man.
Great book, and I recommend any history, military, or 300 buff to read it.
If you have any other good books to share please post them as well!

300 is an absolutely terrific movie. the attitude, the valour the spartans display send a chill down my spine. so much to keep their honour. they challenged and even demured a person who projected himself as god. i think they were bogged down by the wrong priests who just had no respect for these warriors. my personal favorite line in the movie when the king says : SPARTANS NEVER RETREAT!!!!!!!!!!. the greatest sequence when the king as a young lad fights the beast and also , when he kicks the intruder into the well..NAY, NOT MUCH INTERESTED IN BOOKS..
