Title: Experiencing Xenophon's March
Product review: John Prevas has done an excellent job of plunging the reader into the extraordinary exodus of the Greek mercenaries through the hostile territories of Persia to their return to Greece. His book provides a very interesting and lively introduction to the earlier Greek and Persian wars leading up to the mercenary involvement of the Greeks. He describes the motives of the Greek army in assisting Cyrus to overthrow his brother Ataxerxes, the "King of Kings". In addition the author describes his personal observations of the territories and villages transversed by Xenophon's army of the "Ten Thousand". His book is a read that describes the intrigues, deceptions and treachery that both Persians and Greeks endured. His description of the famous march incorporates his own vivid historical storytelling with the actual ancient accounts of the Xenophon's "Anabasis"
