Includes many timeless principles
Especially those interested in the most likely events that really took place, not the skewed events that the Greeks wrote of many miles away.

No wonder he is called great
I would like to recommend this book to anyone from the business industry up to historians with interest in Persia. Especially in the time, we are living this book is strongly recommended. It represents goodness over badness....humanity vs. inhumanity.

Achaemenid Empire
Many subjects are discussed that illuminate--even with complete information--the Empire: the bureaucracy and governance structure of the Empire, religion, and ideology, succession crises as these occurred, the Persian economy and so on. All in all, despite the data problems, a fascinating work. . . .

Good lessons to keep in mind
Suggestions/comments that he could use in his highly technical/administrative position. Captivating History's study of Cyrus's leadership tactics remain timeless and is anyone in a leadership position.
