Iran Editorial Review
The Ancient Persia: A Concise History of the Achaemenid Empire Illustrated Edition by Professor Matt Waters is a well-researched, well-written, objective, and high-quality scholarly work that traces the Achaemenid Empire from Cyrus the Great to Alexander's invasion of Persia. This book is a good example of how modern scholars are trying to separate facts from fiction and present objective histories of ancient civilizations, which have mostly survived through works written by Greeks, Romans, and non-Persians. The book is easy to understand, and the author explains each king and historical personality objectively. Waters logically refutes discrepancies, exaggerations, and propaganda in histories written by Greeks and other Western historians. The book is also well-illustrated with photographs. However, some reviewers complain of turgid Prose and the author's repetitious complaints about Greek historians. Some also argue that the author's abridgement of the narratives makes the storyline lifeless and dull. Nevertheless, this book is recommended to readers who want a compact presentation of the history of the Achaemenid empire.
