Shadows of Glory: The Rise and Fall of the Persian Empire (The Rise and Fall of Ancient Empires, #4) (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

The Persian Empire wasn't built in a day - but it sure began with a bold idea. In this razor-sharp retelling, Heinrich Wilson strips away textbook boredom and exposes the ambition, innovation and cracks behind one of history's most enduring powers.

From the rise of Cyrus to the fall beneath Alexander's sword, Shadows of Glory explores not just what Persia was, but what it dared to become.

Woven with wit, irony, and historical insight, this book traces how diversity became strength - and eventually, vulnerability. It speaks of roads that connected worlds, policies that shaped identities, and empires that ruled more through vision than violence... until ego and overreach led to their undoing.

As the fourth volume in the Rise and Fall of Ancient Empires series, this entry trades fluff for fire - offering readers a history both intelligent and entertaining, respectful yet irreverent, grounded yet gripping.

Autorenporträt

Heinrich Wilson is a self-styled cosmic provocateur, weaving satire, myth, and a dash of conspiracy into irreverent tales of humanity's greatest screw-ups. Equal parts historian-wannabe and stand-up philosopher, he's spent years digging through dusty legends, UFO files, and corporate press releasesthen reassembling them into laugh-out-loud narratives that ask the questions everyone else was too polite to mention. When he's not rewriting the origin story of civilization, you'll find him arguing with algorithms, hunting down misplaced ancient artifacts (or tacos), and plotting the sequel that explores spirits, ghosts, and the ultimate ghost in the machine.
