Os Persas: A era dos grandes reis (Em Português do Brasil)

I'm curious about what motivated the author to highlight these particular figures and events. Was it due to their influence, personal interest, or available sources?

Some of the decisions and power plays seemed relevant even today. I wonder if this was intentional or just a coincidence based on historical records.

The narrative kept me hooked, but I was also aware of the need to stay true to the facts. It made me wonder about the research process behind this book.
