The Immortals were the legendary elite warriors of the Persian Empire, an army of ten thousand whose numbers never seemed to diminish. Feared by their enemies and fiercely loyal to the Great King, they stood at the center of one of history's greatest military powers.
In The Immortals: Persia's Elite Army and the Making of an Empire, James P. Patterson explores the rise of the Achaemenid Empire, the leadership of Cyrus the Great, Darius I, and Xerxes, and the military institution that helped shape the ancient world. Drawing from ancient sources, archaeology, and modern historical research, this book separates myth from history to reveal the organization, discipline, and legacy of Persia's most famous warriors.
From the rise of an empire to the battles of Marathon, Thermopylae, and Salamis, this is the story of the men who stood at the heart of Persian power.
