Talk:Steven Pressfield
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Was Junnah really a pro in Bagger Vance? Or was he a talented amatuer who had given up the game and retreated into a heremetic life? That's how I remember it. Rlquall 14:26, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
You are correct. Junnah was not professional but an accomplished amateur whose life is in disarray at the beginning of the story. He is inserted into the match between Walter Hagen and Bobby Jones as a "local champion" at the insistence of the local government officials.
[edit] Alexander novels
Is it really necessary to seperate the two novels about Alexander's conquests into their own seperate category in the historical fiction section? It seems disruptive, and for the time being I'm going to arrange them into the regular list, and noting the change here. 24.230.45.231 (talk) 10:44, 26 November 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Required Reading?
Can someone cite a source claiming "Gates of Fire" is REQUIRED reading among military academies? As much as I want to believe it, I want to be sure it's true before I spout it to everyone. AndarielHalo (talk) 16:01, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
