Overview and Impressions:
Troy: Last War of the Heroic Age is a summary of Homer's Iliad. It covers the mythology and history of the Trojan War. Though I recommend Feagles' Iliad and Odyssey translations. This Osprey is a good introduction to the subject.
However, I'm a student of classic antiquity. I already knew the story behind the Trojan War. If you want more info, read Wood's In Search of the Trojan War or Barry Strauss's The Trojan War: A New History.
