I bought this book in order to try to understand the present Iran, old Persia. Somehow, it only gave me partial answers why such a multiple rich country -- in previous empire (2300 years ago), civilization, knowledge, strategic power and staunch racial and historical independence from arabs -- could nowadays be so mentaly blind by islamo-fascism to the point of persecuting christian and jewish communities that so much contributed to the diversity wisdom and independence of old Persia. Personally think, strengthened by book contents, that without persians the political and commercial pseudo-theocracy of islamo-fascism could never have evolved beyhond the 8th century. Persians had then the know how and the organization that enabled the then arab expansion and domination of the middle east, when Europe was being invaded by the Alans, Suevs, Gods, etc that came in hordes from the eurasian plateau. Text easy to read and absorve. Very good quality of pictures, that nevertheless could still be more revealing. Overall a very good book, recommendable for anyone that enjoys History without fanaticisms or sectarisms. RCBRead full review
