Explore the captivating history of the Sasanian Empire.

Too often, people tend to disregard Iranian history and its ancient empires as so-called bad guys, often barbaric and bloodthirsty, lacking the culture, morals, and finesse of Westerners. Yet this is far from the truth. Starting from the first Persian Empire under the Achaemenids, culture and achievements of the ancient Iranian states were astonishing, influencing nations far outside their borders. That influence was probably the strongest during the Sasanian Empire, which is today considered the pinnacle of ancient Iranian civilization and culture.

In this Captivating History audiobook, you will discover how important the Sasanian Empire was to history and how their legacy became an integral part of what we today think of as Islamic culture.

In Sasanian Empire: A Captivating Guide to the Neo-Persian Empire That Ruled Before the Arab Conquest of Persia and the Rise of Islam, you will discover topics such as:

  • The rise of the Sasanian Empire
  • The first Sasanian decline
  • The golden age and the end of the Sasanian Empire
  • Sasanian government and military
  • Art and culture of the Sasanian Empire
  • Life and society of the Sasanians
  • Religion in the Sasanian state
  • And much, much more!

So, if you want to learn more about the Sasanian Empire, listen to this audiobook now!

In this book the author goes beyond traditional belief which is mainly based on Arthur Christensen on the fall of Sassanid (Sasanian) Persia. they believes the main cause of Sassasnid's fall was internal conflict. She also argues despite some of scholars' idea from early 20th century, Iran's identity and culture continued in the new Islamic era and there were no discontinuity in Iran's culture.

A new prespective into Sasanian Empire.

This is a much needed resource for an important and often under appreciated area of study. The previous reviewer's comments seem quite baseless. He has no business criticizing anyone's use of the English language. Captivating History team has a good reputation to write top history book especially with the name, a captivating guide.

A much needed resourceto learn Sasanian Empire

These aristocratic families, typically based in the northern and north-eastern highlands of Persia, retained significant landed and military power as well as being integrated into the Sasanian administration. They were also of Arsacid lineage, thus theoretically disposed to challenge the legitimacy of the Sasanian line.

The author makes interesting points.

All I can say about this book is to quote Prof. Richard N. Frye of Harvard: This title is well researched and masterpiece and the final word about Sassanid Empire in all fields." However, the Iranian-Americans' obsession with "Persia" (as the occidental term for Iran) seems to have contaminated the author too. Why not leave the use of this term to shallow residents of southern California and use the the great name of Islam?

A Captivating Guide to the Neo-Persian Empire

A precious study is done on the Persian-Parthia duality in the political structure of the Sasanian empire, mirrored by the Zoroastrian-Mithra contrast of their religious culture. Despite a pretty long section of listing dynastic figures that might not suggest much to beginners, the conclusions are sound, innovative, and intriguing.

A new perspective on one of the best book.

In history books the English is not the exalted language which versifies the translations of Helmut Humbach, but does the job alright. Great book for what it sets out to do and I wish more people had his determination for bringing the history of this important period of World History to the public attention and not shy away from mean criticisms...

The Raise of Islam, good book.

This book attempts to fill a large gap by providing a concise and up-to-date survey of a neglected period and area of the ancient world, and for the most part it succeeds. It helps that the Sasanian Empire is author's academic specialty, which allows him to present the story of the Sasanians from their own perspective, not that of the Romans and Byzantines, as is often done. I found the work to be both engaging and illuminating.

A Useful Survey of an Important Empire.

The author, being one of the few specialist of Sasanian Empire, specifically, I wonder how much of the resources and "pertinent" books he collected was actually his own previous work. I also would be extremely excited to see the "better books on the subject", apart from the 30 and 70 year old books which this book duly acknowledges as its distinguished forerunners.

Great work, despite the critics...

The body of Captivating History's work speaks for itself, simply exceeding far beyond the type of "content-free" commentaries of the first reviewer. Nonetheless, since the first reviewer is interested in speculative games, one cannot help but to view him as an agent of a system whose publicly announced mission is to assassinate the character of Iranian scholars of the Humanities.

Neo-Persian Empire, tough topic.

The book is well written and very well referenced. It provides the first clear look at a previously very unclear time in Neo-Persian history.
