THE RISE AND FALL OF PERSIA

Heard of the Persian Wars - yes, plural, as there were two of them. But most always, the details are from the Greek perspective. Here's your chance to learn more about the Persians - and not just during the wars, but how they came to wield so much power in the Middle East, and what led to their fall. The issue is fascinating as it offers you a ringside seat to watch both the Persians and the Greeks as they grow, meet, fight, and then defend themselves against the same enemy. And, that's not all. You'll also have a chance to move away from the battlefield and meet the gods each worshipped, and what beautifying a capital city meant to each. Wonder who it was who conquered both the Greeks and the Persians - and about the same time? Well you'll just have to get this issue!
