   What's a good book to learn about the Persian Empire?

   • Your next book is The Persian Empire: A Corpus of Sources from the Achaemenid Period by Amélie Kuhrt. This is another great doorstop of a book, running to over 1,000 pages. It was originally published in two volumes in hardback and went into paperback a few years later. It is the most invaluable teaching tool for me.

   What is your first commercial book about Persia?

   • It’s my first ever commercial book. The publishers wanted something on the Achaemenid Empire. So it’s simply called The Persians. What I’ve tried to do in it is to put upfront what I believe is the most important way of looking at Persia and that is through Persian sources.

   What is a good book about Cyrus a Persian conqueror astride?

   • Let’s move on to Discovering Cyrus: a Persian Conqueror Astride the Ancient World by Reza Zaghamee. This is a mammoth book, around 900 pages. I really like it because it’s full of the zest and enthusiasm of this young Iranian scholar looking at his own history.
