The Landmark Xenophon's Anabasis by Xenophon

An account of a Greek mercenary army’s perilous expedition into the Persian interior after a failed bid for the throne, detailing their sudden leaderless predicament, grueling retreat through hostile terrain, clashes with Persian forces and local tribes, and the emergence of new leaders who restore discipline and guide the Ten Thousand on a long, strategic march to safety; the narrative combines vivid battlefield action, practical military and geographic detail, and themes of leadership, endurance, and camaraderie amid hardship.
