Useful information but biased,

This review is from: Ancient Siege Warfare: "Persians, Greeks, Carthaginians and Romans 546-146 BC" (Elite) (Paperback)
In this book Authors present some useful information about Ancient siege tools and techniques. Unfortunately there is a bias in this book and as usual for many western so-called experts he demonized Persians as being "notorious for their merciless treatment of captured towns". Who the hell told you this Mr. Campbell? the same Cyrus the Great you accused him for being responsible for looting the Babylon declared freedom for the persecuted Jews and ordered people have their normal life and warned his soldiers to not to loot the town. He entered Marduk temple and payed his respect. What are you referring to?! Compared to most Ancient powers such as Assyrians and Romans they were like angels with respect to their treatment of conquered land was like !
