Description
The Lost Army by Valerio Massimo Manfredi is an account of one of the greatest collective acts of heroism in ancient history. In 4th century BC, a woman dressed in rags and covered in blisters and sores was seen approaching a village in Syria, sparking suspicion and hostility from the villagers. This intense and gripping narrative tells the story of the women who accompanied the soldiers on their long journey with Xenophon's army, a force of ten thousand Greek mercenaries. The author, one of the world's leading experts on ancient history, brings to life an epic adventure that has captivated readers for centuries. By exploring the experiences of these women, Manfredi sheds new light on one of the most celebrated marches in man's history.
