PERSIANS
Description
Review: an excellent read - Excellent narration by an expert in Persian history. The writing is simple and lucid. Review: Excellent Persian account of history of the Persian Empire - The books is a well written account of history of the great Persian Empire from the Persian perspective. Although it borrows insights from the books written by Greek historians of the day like Herodotus, it sheds light on the Persian side of it, which was distorted by the Greek authors. Each chapter delves into a different aspect of the court, may it be a Great King or the workings of his court. A good read indeed.
