THANK YOU, Tom, Amazon.com is also appreciative. When I went to look for a one-volume and comprehensive summary of Persian history, I got completely lost in what is out there, what's new, what's old (and possibly superseded), etc.

May I quote you on your double-barreled view of the burning of Persepolis, by the way? That's always a toughie for anyone talking about Alex!
