Summary: Achaemenid Armies
Comment: As with the elite title on the Greeks by the same author, most of the book, save a brief introduction to the organization of the Achamenid Persian Army, is a highly detailed plate commentary. The plates are pretty good but are a little too similar. The text is a fine source on this subject, detailing a variety of troop types including several kinds of the Immortals bodyguard regiments.

Summary: Iran
Comment: This book was good because there were drawn pictures which illsutrated ancient Iran's army uniform. There were some artifacts that what appeared to be Iranian women were engaing in battle field.

Editorial Reviews:
|
The Persian Empire grew in the vacuum left by Assyria's destruction of the Kingdom of Elam. Prince Teispes captured Anshan, once a stonghold of the Elamites. His father, Achaemenes is the person who is apparently responsible for training and organising the early Persian army and it is his name that is the beginning of the royal line of Achaemenian Kings. It is a dynasty which includes Darius the Great – the finest ruler of the Achaemenid era. The army he commanded included the infamous 'Immortals', who formed the elite of the Persian army, their numbers always kept to exactly 10,000 men.
