{"product_id":"the-persian-expedition-9780140440072","title":"The Persian Expedition","description":"Xenophon's epic march into the heart of Persia has stirred the imagination of free men for centuries. Possibly written from diaries compiled at the time, there is no doubt that \u003ci\u003eThe Persian Expedition\u003c\/i\u003e is one of the best pictures we have of Greeks confronting the 'barbarian' world. We see the soldiers debate leaders and strategy in open assembly; we see them falling on their knees in superstitious fear; we see them planning a piratical colony on barbarian land. And at the same time we share the rigors of the march to Babylon, the dismay of unexpected defeat, the uncertainty of the long road home through wild Armenia, and the relief at last when the Ten Thousand reach 'the sea, the sea!'.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Xenophon\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Penguin Group\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/30\/1950\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSeries:\u003c\/b\u003e Penguin Classics\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 384\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.64lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.78h x 5.06w x 0.91d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780140440072\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRevised Edition\u003c\/b\u003e","brand":"Penguin Group","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42709611184265,"sku":"9780140440072","price":17.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_ff7ec35a-d393-4e32-91f6-f6d82a9c7c5b.jpg?v=1719519836","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/the-persian-expedition-9780140440072","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
