A Political History of the Achaemenid Empire (Ancient Near East)

'Il est, pour les chercheurs mais pour les etudiants aussi, un ouvrage de base qu'ils ne pourront pas ignorer.' Ph. Gignoux, Studia Iranica. 'This is an excellent book, that is both authoritative and extremely readable. It will become a standard reference work for Achaemenid history...Students of the Achaemenid empire have been well served by the production of [this book] and with the appearance the discipline takes a significant step forwards.' J.E. Curtis, Bulletin of the SOAS, 1995.
