Diario de un Guerrero Estoico

In 522 BC, a simple spearman plunged a knife into the most powerful throne on the planet and became king without a drop of royal blood. Twelve months, nineteen battles, and a bloody purge later, that man had become the most feared ruler of the ancient world. But Darius I didn't just conquer an empire: he completely reinvented it, with a system of government, roads, and spies so advanced that parts of its design are still in use today. And he also made mistakes that would forever change the course of history, including a defeat at a place called Marathon that his son Xerxes could never forgive.
This is the complete story of Darius the Great: the usurper, the administrative genius, the tyrant, and the man whose personal obsession ignited one of the most memorable wars of antiquity.
