Persians, the Age of the Great Kings

Lloyd's new book is called persians, the age of the great kings. In it he tries to explain why we know so little about thePersian empire. He says western history has been dominated by greeks and romans for centuries. But there was a global antiquity that spanned much more than two million square miles. Lloyd: I don't try to whitewash the persians; their empire was built by military conquest.
