The Ten Thousand - first UK edition

When leadership is forced upon Xenophon after the treacherous slaughter of his senior comrades in arms it is up to him to inspire the few remaining officers of the Greek army to rally their troops. This is the story of the survival of 10,000 Greek soldiers trapped in hostile Persian territory in 401BC, and of Xenophon, who leads them home against all odds. Told through the eyes of Xenophon's battle squire, Theo.
