In the last book of Xenophon's "Anabasis" we look back at the three challenges Xenophon has experienced: going to war alongside Cyrus, marching the Greeks through enemy territory, and the army by the sea trying to get home.

We explore what Xenophon wants and the idea of leadership in these three situations and ask "what's the difference between a military leader and a political leader?"
