Book VI
Surprisingly the famous Battle of Marathon only gets a couple of pages. A lot of the chapter is spent on detailing how much the Greeks fought with each other; it seems the only thing that could (sometimes) bring them together was the threat of Persians invading.
Also I learned that the Spartans thought that drinking your wine neat would make you go insane. I wonder what they would think about scotch.
