In 1906, a stilted English translation of Xenophon of Athens' story about Cyrus the Great's military campaigns was published. Now, a century later, a much more accessible edition of one of history's most extraordinary and successful leaders is emerging.

Among his many achievements, this great leader of wisdom and virtue founded and extended the Persian Empire; conquered Babylon; freed 40,000 Jews from captivity; wrote mankind's first human rights charter; and ruled over those he had conquered with respect and benevolence.

According to historian Will Durant, Cyrus the Great's military enemies knew that he was lenient, and they did not fight him with that desperate courage which men show when their only choice is to kill or die. As a result the Iranians regarded him as The Father, the Babylonians as The Liberator, the Greeks as the Law-Giver, and the Jews as the Anointed of the Lord.

By freshening the voice, style and diction of Cyrus, Larry Hedrick has created a more contemporary Cyrus. A new generation of readers, including business executives and managers, military officers, and government officials, can now learn about and benefit from Cyrus the Great's extraordinary achievements, which exceeded all other leaders' throughout antiquity.

Looked beautiful
The merchandise was what I needed. The delivery was not accurate however. The order was dropped off 3 apartment doors away from where I live. I had to guess where it was after the emailed delivery notice.

It works
Manageable to dress in, and pre-tied relieves the burden to tie it on manually every time.

Very happy with purchase. Great value, looks and quality.
These shirts are incredible value for the money. The fabric is of fantastic quality, a nice thickness, not see-through (appropriate for work/office attire), stretchy, breathable and wrinkle-free. And it isn’t flimsy like you’d expect in dress shirts in this price range. The colors are just like the images - accurate. The Shirts feels and looks far more expensive than the listed prices here. I like these so much that I ended up buying 8 of these in different colors. Definitely recommend these ! Note on Sizing: I had first ordered the AI-recommended L size, and although I was able to wear it, it was hugging my body, and figured that it would fit me well IF I was in perfect shape. If you have a few extra Lbs like I do, or if you like a little bit of room in your clothing, I’d recommend a size higher. So I ended up returning the L and ordered the XL. So if you’re slightly out of shape, go with one size higher. If you’re in good shape - these run true to size.
