The Lost Army

The next searing adventure from the author of The Last Legion. Manfredi has created a rip-roaring adventure seen from the perspective of a woman. Her story encompasses one of the great collective acts of heroism of the ancient world. She was the mistress of Xenophon, a general in the vast army of ten thousand Greek mercenaries from virtually every Greek city state that was employed by Cyrus the Younger, in his quest to seize the throne of Persia from his brother, Artaxerxes II. A new and intense account of the most celebrated march in man's history.
