<p>Sam Leith’s guest in this week's <em>Book Club</em> podcast is Andrew Bayliss, author of <em>Sparta: The Rise and Fall of an Ancient Superpower</em>. Andrew tells Sam what we know — and don't know – about these much-mythologised figures from the Ancient world and tells the story of how a tiny city-state punched above its weight, until it didn't. <em>This </em>is Sparta.</p><br><p>Produced by Patrick Gibbons.</p>
