The Cavalry General is a historical book written by Xenophon, a Greek historian, soldier, and philosopher. The book is a memoir of his experiences as a cavalry officer in the Persian Expedition of the Greek army led by Cyrus the Younger in 401 BC. Xenophon's account provides a vivid description of the campaign, battles, and the political intrigue that led to the expedition. He also gives a detailed account of the tactics and strategies used by the Greek army, particularly the cavalry. The book is divided into two parts. The first part narrates the events leading up to the expedition, including the recruitment of soldiers and the political situation in Greece at the time. The second part focuses on the military campaign, including the battles of Cunaxa and Thymbra, and the retreat of the Greek army through hostile territory.Throughout the book, Xenophon portrays himself as a brave and skilled cavalry officer, and his account provides valuable insights into the tactics and strategies of ancient Greek warfare. The Cavalry General is a fascinating read for anyone interested in ancient Greek history, military strategy, or the art of leadership.But, after all, no man, however great his plastic skill, can hope to mould and shape a work of art to suit his fancy, unless the stuff on which he works be first prepared and made ready to obey the craftsman's will. Nor certainly where the raw material consists of men, will you succeed, unless, under God's blessing, these same men have been prepared and made ready to meet their officer in a friendly spirit. They must come to look upon him as of greater sagacity than themselves in all that concerns encounter with the enemy.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
