Band on the Run

Murray Dahm interviews Robert L. O'Connell about his new book on Xenophon's Anabasis — the March of the Ten Thousand. O'Connell is a serious military historian (author of Of Arms and Men), and the Anabasis is one of the foundational texts of Western military writing: a mercenary army deep in hostile territory fighting its way home. The Ancient Warfare Podcast's format — focused, 35 minutes, no filler — suits this perfectly.
