An interesting book, however, the information given in this book is very different than what i know and what i have read in several articles. The author have either got those facts from an unreliable source of information or just simply hated the Persians, because there was so much accusation of how Cyrus the Great was mean, selfish and was drunk by his powers where in other articles claims of his greatness in wars & how much he respected all beliefs & religions of different race which earned him the respect and homage of all those he ruled over.
