Harrison (ancient history and classical archeology, U. of Liverpool) examines how histories of the Achaemenid Persian empire have been, are being, and might be written. He is a historian of

and only Herodotus' Histories provide a Greek perspective. Distributed in the US by International Publishers Marketing. Annotation 穢2011 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
