You use the usurper's contacts to get almost to the city gates of the enemy empire, and in one, brief battle you lose the would-be King. In the next couple days you lose ALL of your officers, who figure the enemy would be glad to just let them leave, but instead are slaughtered during a truce negotiation. Now it's up to you alone to lead the entire Army 1,000 miles, through an unknown, mountainous, hostile environment, with little to no supplies, past city states crammed full of people and Armies that want nothing more than to see you dead to the last man. This is THAT book, written by the sargent-come-general himself, after he made it home. Xenophon was an excellent general, becoming a hero in the next major war, this time between Athens and Sparta, and writing a landmark history of the war (Hellenika) after he was sidelined, interviewing folks on both sides of the conflict. Xenophon writes with a clear, historically attuned style, relating the action as it happened. No story teller, he writes so that people who come after him will learn from his writings what happened, why it happened, and how it could have been avoided. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars A very fine edition of a well known classic - now available ... *by J***N on Reviewed in the United States on May 24, 2017* A very fine edition of a well known classic - now available in a better print - Xenophon is a very important Greek historian and military leader - His study of Cyrus is not exact history but rather a study in leadership by an accomplished practitioner - and observer of many other leaders. The Cyropaedia might be translated ' the education of Cyrus - rather than anabasis as that might lead the reader to think it compares in content with Xenophon's own 'anabasis' of his retreat from Persia. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars I Should Give it 4 Stars for Limited Maps, But Its Just So Good! *by N***N on Reviewed in the United States on February 14, 2022* As I've said in other reviews, the strength of a book like this is highly dependent on the skill of the translator and Ambler does not dissapoint.The translation is clean & easy to follow.Notes are nested at the end - and kept to a minimum! - so they do not distract.Where appropriate, Ambler notes back to events in ealier chapters so you can remind yourself what happened.The only draw back? Maps. It is hard to determine how a battle played out without maps. I would have loved even sketchwork to show how different battles played out. But again, the work here is so good I will give Ambler a pass. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.be/products/8052070-the-anabasis-of-cyrus](https://www.desertcart.be/products/8052070-the-anabasis-of-cyrus) --- *Product available on Desertcart Belgium* *Store origin: BE* *Last updated: 2026-11-01*
