Copyright question
I have a recent book and I've scanned some bits from it. I don't know much about copyright issues, and I don't want to get in trouble, so I'll ask first. Is it legal to post these pages here? Will anyone care?

Check if the book is on google books. Might work best if you give a summary and link over there.

Google books has part of it, from 206 BC to the Islamic Caliphate. I'll add in the most important parts of the rest. I tried to re-write it as best I could.
Iran under the Achaemenids
550/49 The Persian Cyrus (II?) defeats his overlord, the Median 'king' Astyages, and captures Ecbatana.
539 Cyrus's troops under Ugbaru capture Babylon.
530 Cyrus is killed in the battle against the Massagetae on the Jaxartes and is buried in Pasargadae.
530-522 He is succeeded by his son Cambyses (II). C. has his brother Bardiya, potential rival for the throne, killed.
525 Persian troops under Cambyses conquer Egypt.
522/21 The Median Magus Gaumata rises in Iran and gains a following by granting temporary exemption from taxes and military service. After seven months in power, G. is murdered by seven aristocratic conspirators. One of them, Achaemenid Darius, is chosen as the king. He succeeds in putting down a number of rebellions against his regime. For the first time, the newly created Old Persian cuneiform script is used to create Darius' res gestae in the Bisutun Cliff.
c. 510 Despite an unsuccessful campaign against the 'European' Scythians, Thracia is conquered. The Macedonian king acknowledges Persian suzerainty. In the East, the empire is extended to as far as the Indus valley.
507/06 Athenian envoys formally subject themselves to the 'great king'.
500-494 Ionian poleis on the coast of Asia Minor rise against Persian sovereignty, but are defeated despite Athenian and Eretrian aid (the 'Ionian rebellion'). Miletus is conquered and its leading class deported.
490 A seaborne Persian expedition under Datis and Artaphernes against Athens and Eretria is defeated near Marathon.
486 Darius dies. His son Xerxes succeeds him (486-465). Periodic revolts since the start of his reign in Babylonia.
480-479 The great campaign against Greece fails despite initial successes at Salamis by sea and Plataea (479) on land.
465 Xerxes and his heir, Darius are both murdered. He is succeeded by his younger son Artaxerxes I.
465-424 The reign of Artaxerxes I is marked by his defeat at Eurymedon against members of the 'Delian League', but also by successes in Cyprus and Egypt (against Inarus and Athens).
424 After the king's death, the heir Xerxes II is assassinated. The successor is Darius II.
423-404 By diplomatic means and military pressure, D. recaptures the coastal cities of Asia Minor through the support of Sparta in the Peloponnesian War.
404-359 Darius' son, Artaxerxes II is challenged by his brother Cyrus the Younger, but the latter is killed in the battle of Cunaxa (401) near Babylon. The Persian empire loses Egypt. In the 'King's peace' (387/86), Western Asia Minor is definitively yielded to the king by the Greeks. Revolts by satraps in the west are unsuccessful.
359-338 Further rebellions in Asia Minor and Phoenicia are suppressed during the reign of Artaxerxes III, the son of A. II. In 343/32, Egypt is reconquered.
336 The king is assassinated in 338, with his son and successor Arses following the same fate shortly after. Darius III, another great-grandson of Darius II, ascends to the throne.
334-330 Alexander (III) of Macedonia attacks the Persian empire, and after victories at Granicus, Issus and Gaugamela, seizes the entire west, Mesopotamia and the Iranian residences. The fleeing Darius is assassinated by the satrap Bessus (330).
I'll probably do the Macedonian history tomorrow.
