Battle of Salamis by Barry Strauss
Just came out, the defining battle of the trireme, one of the greatest naval battles of all time, with land skirmishes of the Persian wars. I love reading this stuff and highly recommend it to those that enjoy reading about the Ancient world.

Haven't read it, although I have read quite a lot about the trireme. Salamis was definitely most of the most important trireme battles (quite possibly THE most important) but in a way it was atypical because the Greeks deliberately turned the battle into a boarding battle in narrow waters, rather than a battle of maneuvering and ramming. But, in any case, from the reviews on Amazon it seems Strauss has written this really well?
