In addition to being a medical doctor and a researcher in the fields of immunology, neurology, and nuclear medicine, I’m also a history enthusiast. After having attained significant knowledge of specific historical events in the Middle East from many sources, I decided to compile the valuable information that I’m now presenting to you. The same analytical viewpoint that I’ve employed in my medical field has been used in my study of history so that you can draw your own conclusions.

After you finish reading this book, you will have gained a greater understanding of human interactions in ancient times that have shaped current events. I believe that the kings of Medes, their associates, and their contemporaries will become “real” to you and your appreciation of this segment of history will grow as mine did.
