Hope for the Future
Revisado: 02-15-25
Many books identify the cultural morass that the 1960’s produced, but few have provided such a detailed and comprehensive view of the problem our country now faces and fewer provide a roadmap out of what has been created. Tim Goeglein pulls no punches and reaches deep into American History to find the root causes of our current state of affairs. The book ends in hope and optimism for the future and the recognition that the solution must start with ourselves, our families, and our communities. Thank you for writing this book.

At its height in 660 BCE, the kingdom of Assyria stretched from the Mediterranean Sea to the Persian Gulf. It was the first empire the world had ever seen. Here, historian Eckart Frahm tells the epic story of Assyria and its formative role in global history. Assyria’s wide-ranging conquests have long been known from the Hebrew Bible and later Greek accounts. But nearly two centuries of research now permit a rich picture of the Assyrians and their empire beyond the battlefield.

Questions Unanswered

This book has the feeling of the lecture notes of a university survey course on Assyria. What a shame! There is no central argument given on how we should view the Assyrians. The author poses a debatable question and offers an extensive list of different perspectives or causal factors (climate change, economic problems, social oppression, etc.) but at the end will not definitively answer the question he poses. Is this where post-modernism has brought us? Are we that shy to pass definitive judgements on a civilization that has been dead for well over 2000 years?
Additionally, many of the answers offered as explanations seem to be tenuous and speculative trying to awkwardly link modern perspectives to past events. Rather than revise our understanding of events, this book just muddled them, at least for this listener.
