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.
