Harold Lamb: Cyrus the Great

Genghis Khan or the Emperor of All Men

Cyrus the Great is Harold Lamb's narrative of the life of the King of Persia who conquered the Medes, Lydians and Babylonians and marched into those mysterious lands to the east forging the largest empire of the time. Some of the book is, of course, informed speculation about everything from Cyrus's childhood to his motivations as an adult. The book was originally written in 1960 and I have a 1976 printing from Pinnacle Books. Lamb wrote an entire series of history and historical fiction books, writing mostly between World War I and II, on historical figures from Genghis Khan to Alexander the Great. At the time I bought this one, I missed the opportunity to buy about a dozen others of his works at The Book Barn and have been kicking myself ever since. I check the shelves every time I'm there, but these books are really hard to come by. In searching Amazon, I did come across good news - no great news - a few of his books, such as Genghis Khan or the Emperor of All Men, are being reprinted and his book Hannibal: One Man Against Rome is available as an MP3 CD or digital MP3 download
