The Persian Empire: A Captivating Guide to the History of Persia, Starting from the Ancient Achaemenid, Parthian, and Sassanian Empires to the Safavid, Afsharid, and Qajar Dynasties

It reads a bit like a first year uni student‘s essay. The maps are poorly printed and sometimes illegible. There’s very little detail. It could serve okay as a “My first book of Persian history” which to be fair is what I was after but it’s really not very good.The first copy I received had all the pages upside down. It just feels.....amateurish.

Very well received. Was very interesting in well written.

did not enjoy

Short, to the point, hits the highlights, some evaluation into the bigger historical context. The maps and diagrams are crap, very poor quality. It does give an overall awareness and that’s what I was looking for!

A pamphlet of less than 100 pages trying to describe almost 3000 years of history cannot be called a book. Poorly written and full of inaccuracies.
