Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Ten thousand Greek mercenaries march into the heart of the Persian Empire. Their employer dies in battle. Their generals are captured in a parley. Surrounded by enemies, stranded a thousand miles from home, they refuse to surrender-and cut their way out with spear and shield.This edition brings their desperate fighting retreat to life with four original tactical diagrams and campaign maps. See how the Greeks formed the hollow square, repulsed Persian cavalry, and stormed mountain passes. Order-of-battle tables list every contingent. Every anecdote is sourced to Xenophon, Diodorus, or Plutarch by name.For readers of narrative military history who want to understand not just what happened, but how.
