Now abandoned in northern Mesopotamia, without supplies, the 10,000 had to fight their way northwards, making <em>ad hoc</em> decisions about their leadership, tactics, provender and destiny, while the King's army and hostile natives barred their way and attacked their flanks.</p><p><em>Anabasis</em> is the most famous book of the Ancient Greek professional soldier and writer Xenophon. <em>Anabasis</em> is rendered in translation as <em>The March of the Ten Thousand</em>. The narration of the journey is Xenophon's best known work, and one of the great adventures in human history. Besides military history, the <em>Anabasis</em> has found use as a tool for the teaching of classical philosophy; the principles of leadership and government exhibited by the army can be seen as exemplifying Socratic philosophy.</p><p>This case laminate collector's edition includes a Victorian inspired dust-jacket. </p>
