Description

The Sasanian Empire at War: Persia, Rome, and the Rise of Islam, 224-651 This comprehensive study examines the military history of the Sasanian Empire, a vast and influential empire that spanned from the Indus River to Egypt and the Mediterranean. At its peak, the Sasanian Empire faced numerous challenges from nomadic powers and rival empires, including the Huns and the Byzantines. The book provides a detailed analysis of Sasanian warfare, including military capabilities, major confrontations, and the organization and weapons of the Persian army. A new perspective on the Sasanian Empire's military capabilities challenges long-held notions of its inferiority. Instead, this book presents a sophisticated and confident culture that played a significant role in the history of Eurasia. The Sasanian Empire's military achievements had a lasting impact on the region, contributing to the survival of Iranian culture beyond the Arab Conquest.
