The author of this book has set himself the task of presenting the course of Persian history, its background, meaning and consequences for the Persians themselves and for other peoples of the Oikumene in an interesting, accessible, coherent and logical manner. To tell how Iranians lived and how they died, how they thought and how they acted, why they looked at the world in this way and not in another way. To show the formation of the Achaemenid power as a montage of a very heterogeneous but unified and consistent system, which influenced the surrounding peoples and was influenced by them. To tell about the phenomenon of the Persian "jump" - almost instantaneous by historical standards conquests of the Persians. To study the structure of the Achaemenid Empire: the first empire of the modern type, in which, as in a jigsaw puzzle, all the elements that are present in similar formations today were formed. To trace the life of the empire in the conditions of clashes with the Greek world - from the first contacts in Ionia in the 6th century. BC to the campaign of Alexander the Great two centuries later.
