Xenophon's Retreat: Greece, Persia and the End of the Golden Age by Robin Waterfield



I don't normally read popular history. Xenophon's Retreat was a pleasant surprise. Initially the book seemed a little dry However the actual story becomes very engaging. The research was obviously lovingly and meticulously carried out. the book also made an excellent companion to Soldier of Arete which Wolfe had dedicated to Xenophon.
