In this new translation of The Anabasis of Cyrus, Wayne Ambler achieves a masterful combination of liveliness and a fidelity to the original uncommon in other versions. Accompanying Ambler's translation is a penetrating interpretive essay by Eric Buzzetti, one that shows Xenophon to be an author who wove a philosophic narrative into his dramatic tale. The translation and interpretive essay encourage renewed study of The Anabasis of Cyrus as a work of political philosophy. They also celebrate its high adventure and its hero's adroit decision making under the most pressing circumstances.
