Description:
An innovative approach to the history of the First Persian Empire, offering an accessible historical narrative for students and general readers alike
A History of the Achaemenid Empire considers archaeological and written sources to provide an expansive, source-based introduction to the diverse and culturally rich world of ancient Achaemenid Persia. Assuming no prior background, this accessible textbook follows the dynastic line from the establishment and expansion of the empire under the early Achaemenid kings to its collapse in 330 BCE. The text integrates the latest research, key primary sources, and archaeological data to offer readers deep insights into the empire, its kings, and its people.
Chronologically organized chapters contain written, archaeological, and visual sources that highlight key learning points, stimulate discussion, and encourage readers to evaluate specific pieces of evidence. Throughout the text, author Maria Brosius emphasizes the necessity to critically assess Greek sources—highlighting how their narrative of Achaemenid political historyoften depicted stereotypical images of the Persians rather than historical reality. Topics include the establishment of empire under Cyrus the Great, Greek-Persian relations, the creation of a Persian ruling class, the bureaucracy and operation of the empire, Persian diplomacy and foreign policy, and the reign of Darius III. This innovative textbook:
Offers a unique approach to Achaemenid history, considering both archaeological and literary sources

Insights on the new racism
Format: Paperback
Wise, with good insight and armed with up-to-date facts, compellingly portrays the new strategies that have been developed within the US political system that actually serve to perpetuate racism in our society. Scary and brutal--a must read for anyone who really wants to know how our society subtley and not so subtley pushes a White supremacy agenda without even knowing it.

Insightful and True
Format: Paperback
Thank you Tim wise for being a person who understands soooo much about race and discrimination. It is great to see that being color blind is actually dangerous for people of color. As a person of color I hate it when whites assume that because they are nice to me that they aren't racist and yet in their thoughts and comments to their white counter parts they are as racist as hell. What annoys me is that whites operate the system which is designed to fail people of color and elevate those who designed it. But the tides are slowly turning and people are waking up and are finding their voice and courage. I wish them all the best in the world. Thanking you Tim.

Honest
Format: Kindle
I love the book. I think he is honest and courageous for exposing demonic oppression. I had no idea how throughly racist the system is. I have highlighted just about every page. I have even shared qoutes on face book. I really think he could help his people eliminate racism, opression and colorblindness. Thank you Tim!
