The book "The Persian Empire" traces the history of the Iranian Empire and examines the growth of its religious beliefs, armed forces, art, and architecture.
John Manuel Cook, the author of this book, first writes about the emergence of the Medes and Persians and then deals with the deeds of Cyrus, the founder of this dynasty. He considers "Parswa" to be the first place where the Persian people settled and writes: "Parswa" as the land of the Persians was undoubtedly located in the place that is now called Iranian Kurdistan. That is, somewhere in the south of Lake Urmia and north of the valleys through which the Khorasan Bozor road passes. Cyrus was a great conqueror, and unlike Alexander, he did not have a trained fighting force at the beginning of his career. In the beginning, Cyrus' Persian soldiers did not know how to ride, so he was forced to train his cavalry. Among the great rulers of history, no one has left as good a name as Cyrus among future generations. Herodotus, the Greek historian, says that the Iranians themselves refer to him as a father who was both kind and provided them with all the good things.
