The sasanian empire at war by michael J. decker
In The Sasanian Empire at War: Persia, Rome and the Rise of Islam 224-651, award winning author Michael J. Decker leads the reader on a fast-paced journey through the annals of one of the greatest empires in world history - the Sasanian Empire of Persia. For centuries the Sasanians battled the Romans, Huns, Turks, and Arabs for supremacy and survival. From the dusty plains of Central Asia, to the verdant high passes of the Caucasus, to the blistering deserts of Syria, the Sasanians fought their bitter rivals with thundering cavalry and disciplined infantry. At their zenith, the armies of the Great King of Persia brought the mighty Roman Empire to its knees and carved out an empire from the Indus to the Nile. Join Michael J. Decker for this tour de force exploration of the wars of the Sasanians and the kings and men who fought them.
