The Jack Carr Book Club May 2025 selection is GATES OF FIRE by New York Times bestselling author Steven Pressfield.

GATES OF FIRE is a modern classic of historical fiction that immerses readers in the grit, blood, and brotherhood of the Battle of Thermopylae. Told through the eyes of a wounded Greek survivor, the novel chronicles the heroism and sacrifice of the 300 Spartans who stood against the Persian Empire in one of history’s most iconic last stands.

With visceral detail and timeless insight, Pressfield captures the warrior ethos in its purest form—duty, honor, courage, and the deep bonds forged in combat. The book has become required reading in military circles across the globe, revered for its authenticity and emotional depth.

Steven Pressfield is a former Marine and the bestselling author of The War of Art, The Legend of Bagger Vance, The Afghan Campaign, and numerous other acclaimed works of fiction and nonfiction. His writing blends historical precision with philosophical reflection, earning him a devoted readership among writers, warriors, and leaders alike.

In this episode, Jack and Steven discuss the timeless code of the warrior, the craft of writing, and the enduring power of storytelling.
