Xenophon

Xenophon was an Athenian country gentleman born about 430 BC. He may have helped to publish Thucydides’ History, and certainly wrote his own Hellenica as a continuation of it. By his own (probably reliable) account he was a fine officer and outstanding leader, but his admiration for Sparta and devotion to Socrates, among other causes, led to his banishment. He was given an estate at Scillus and settled down to enjoy the life of a landed aristocrat, and it was during this period that he began to write histories, biographies, memoirs and specialist treatises. The defeat of Sparta in 371 forced him to move to Corinth where he probably lived for the rest of his life.

Samenvatting

Great Britain and the Next War is a fascinating look into the war strategies and histories of Great Britain. Excerpt: "Sir Arthur Conan Doyle is the historian of the Boer War as well as the creator of Sherlock Holmes, the skilled student of military operations as well as the ingenious deviser of plots; he is no less an intense patriot than a clear and logical thinker. Writing early in 1913 to call to the attention of his fellow-countrymen the warning gave them by General von Bernhardi in his Germany And The Next War, Sir Arthur took occasion to analyze the German general's "case" against England and to answer his contentions in the light of history and reason."
