More than 2,400 years ago one of the most thrilling war stories in history was being read and discussed in Greece. It was called the Anabasis and was written by a Greek noble named Xenophon, who described at first hand what he did, what he suffered, and what he saw during a campaign against the Persians. To read The Exploits of Xenophon is to read a story as vivid as if it had been written by an army colonel in the last war.
