We all know the way Ariel, Rivkin and others disagree about vision of history
with the author. It's not my forte, so I don't take any of the two sides.
But I've read, too, alot about how all the forumites agrees on Khorasani
bloody efforts to give to the sword community a book with new information
and items about persian weapons.
Now, I'm used to frictions due to different/conflictual cultural stances and
background because all the world is the same.
Japan/China/Korea can be compared to Israel/Russia/Iran.
Wise men can see the wrong and the right in both stances.
What hurts me is that this book is ruthless destroyed at the eyes of the
readers of this forum *without having said a word about its contents*.
People here reports bad experiences with Mr. Khorasani. I can't give names
but at least two great italian collectors (one of which is publishing his second
book) and a whole *Chatolic* religious order had very nice experience with
him and will not be afraid of interacting with him again in the future, as they'll
do for sure. Everybody is entitled to his own opinion according to how he
approached/perceived Mr. Khorasani and "his persian history".
Now, is everybody able to discuss the *contents* of the book instead of
his writer or history of Iran ? The above mentioned italian collector/writer is
absolutely astonished about the great quality of the information,
documentation and pictures found in the book at the point to present me a
copy and he's not a newcomer. He find it a bargain in quality/price terms.
But he's not in this forum and will never join, so mine are worthless words.
And, let's say, there are enough worthless words in the air these days...
