The most 'portable' versions of Xenophon for reading on the subway are probably the 'Penguin Classics' paperback version:
Xenophon's "Anabasis" is available as "The Persian Expedition", and his "Hellenica" as "A History of my times".....
The books by J.K. Anderson, while not general histories are also very good, especially his "Military Theory and Practise in the age of Xenophon", which covers many of the battles etc and also his biography of Xenophon, called "Xenophon"...
