The Cavalry General is a historical book written by Xenophon, a Greek historian and soldier, in the 4th century BC. The book tells the story of the life and military career of Timotheus, a prominent Athenian general who served during the Peloponnesian War and the Corinthian War.Throughout the book, Xenophon describes Timotheus' military tactics and strategies, as well as his personal relationships with other Athenian leaders and his soldiers. The book also offers insights into the political and social climate of ancient Athens, including the city's relationships with other Greek city-states.The Cavalry General is considered an important work of Greek military history, as it provides a detailed account of the tactics and strategies used by Athenian cavalry during the period. It also offers a unique perspective on the life of a prominent Athenian general, shedding light on the challenges and rewards of military leadership during the ancient Greek era.Overall, The Cavalry General is a fascinating and informative read for anyone interested in ancient Greek history, military strategy, or 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.
