Cyrus the Great: An Ancient Iranian King
This is an important book: don't let its comparative slimness deceive you. In less than 100 pages, some of the best scholars in the field provide a lively, informed, and valuable synthesis of current thinking about one antiquity's foremost figures. The new English/Persian translations of the infamous Cylinder are not only useful, but much needed. Cyrus the Great has been very well served by Touraj Daryaee and his team. --Dr Lloyd Llewellyn-Jones, Senior Lecturer in Ancient History, The University of Edinburgh
