It's a good paper as a largely political overview, but tends to understate the extent of centralised state military power in my view.

The manpower issue is also crucial with plague decimating the Sasanian forces at a critical point when they were facing a renewed threat from Byzantium and the Muslim Conquests.

Tafazzoli on the structure of the military establishment is very useful.
