I just finished reading the book “The Ten Thousand ” by Michael Curtis Ford. If
you enjoyed Gates of Fire which I previously reviewed , you will enjoy this book.
It is set in ancient Greece at the close of Athens golden age. It is based on
the true story of Xenophon, an Athenian, student of Socrates and soldier who
hires himself out with ten thousand other Greeks to fight in the wars of
neighboring Persia. It is the story of that armies victories, betrayal and
heroic march home from the gates of Babylon itself.
