This book is a new authoritative work on the Persian Empire, which mainly tells the history from the founding of the Persian Empire by Cyrus to the conquest of the Persian Empire by Alexander of Macedon. This book focuses on some of the reform measures adopted by Darius during his reign, and also explains how he managed a culturally diverse, ethnically diverse and complex empire. From the book, readers can read that Persian kings ruled an empire that stretched from Libya to the Asian steppes and from Ethiopia to Pakistan. The Persian Empire had the legendary palace city of Persepolis, where the Achaemenid monarchs held grand court ceremonies. This book breaks away from the influence of Western historiography and has a rational and objective stance. It has been widely praised since its publication and has far-reaching influence.
