A review by snarkycrafter
Persian Fire: The First World Empire and the Battle for the West by Tom Holland

informative slow-paced

2.5

Not for me. Ended up not being about the history I thought it’d be, it was very Greece vs. Persian Empire heavy. At times it felt more like a Greek History book than a Persian Empire history book. It also felt like we jumped around a lot. 

Definitely not a book for beginners looking for an intro to Greek or Persian Empire history.
