a valuable work
An objective history that focuses on social, religious, economic and political developments over time. An excellent overview of a state that no longer exists but was instrumental in the formation of Germany as we know it today.

A Good History
I think this is an excellent work that details the history of Prussia during the specified timeframe. It is not only a dynastic but also a social and religious history that traces the evolution of Prussian institutions.

Makes listening a pleasure
A good one-volume treatment of a large subject by someone who clearly has great affection for The Safavid Empire culture and people. Easy to understand by this amateur.

Very useful though
Gives a very detailed account. However, it is hard to follow in some places because of the amount of information being put into a single book. Very useful though.

INTRESTED
Although the Ottomans are discussed at a reasonable length; there is less on the Safavids. The book concentrates on narrative description rather than analysis. Apart from these points, Dale has produced a very good, up to date narrative summary of the empire for those with a general interest in them.
