American Anabasis: Xenophon and the Idea of America from the Mexican War to Iraq (ISBN=9781590204764) 网盘下载 pdf 免费 2025 在线 epub 电子版

The Marines? march up to Baghdad, Sherman?s trail of destruction

in Georgia, an army of Missouri volunteers trekking across the

Great Plains to Mexico?this wide-ranging and imaginative book tells

for the first time the story of how American armies from the sands

of Iraq to the halls of the Montezuma have followed figuratively in

the footsteps of the original Anabasis, the famous Greek march into

the interior of Asia made by Xenophon and the Ten Thousand in 400

BC.

Starting with the Iraq War, Tim Rood turns back to the conquest of

the American West and to the Civil War, showing how one of the most

famous episodes in classical antiquity was first appropriated in

the name of military expansion, and then used to express

conflicting responses to the most controversial campaign of the

Civil War. Allusions to Xenophon in speeches, newspaper reports,

and military memoirs are throughout read against Xenophon?s own

story.
