## Description

A stunning portrait of the magnificent splendor and enduring legacy of ancient Persia The Achaemenid Persian kings ruled over the largest empire of antiquity, stretching from Libya to the steppes of Asia and from Ethiopia to Pakistan. From the palace-city of Persepolis, Cyrus the Great, Darius, Xerxes, and their heirs reigned supreme for centuries until the conquests of Alexander of Macedon brought the empire to a swift and unexpected end in the late 330s BCE. In Persians , historian Lloyd Llewellyn-Jones tells the epic story of this dynasty and the world it ruled. Drawing on Iranian inscriptions, cuneiform tablets, art, and archaeology, he shows how the Achaemenid Persian Empire was the world’s first superpower—one built, despite its imperial ambition, on cooperation and tolerance. This is the definitive history of the Achaemenid dynasty and its legacies in modern-day Iran, a book that completely reshapes our understanding of the ancient world.

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.
Review: an excellent read - Excellent narration by an expert in Persian history. The writing is simple and lucid.
