A great overview and survey of the history of one of the most interesting ancient Mesopotamian civilizations and states.

Western history tends to gloss over Mesopotamia and thousands of years of the history of civilization in a mad dash to classical Greece and Rome. everything through the Persians is condensed into Cliff notes, and the Persians themselves are mostly just there to serve as the antagonists for the beginning of the story of the Greeks. You spend a little time on Egypt & you get some mention of the Israelites due to their biblical relevance, but the rest of it is just window dressing. Maybe you talk a little bit about Ur and Uruk and the Sumerians, build a model ziggurat, read the passage from the epic of Gilgamesh, and have a brief discussion of Hammurabi's law code. But that's about it. little if any attention is given to people's as important as the Hittites, the Mitani, the Lydians, and if you hear about the Phoenicians it's just as a hand wavy way to discuss the invention of the alphabet. And how many high school students I wonder would have any idea of the significance of Assyria? Name a single city of king? Or express any concept of their relevance?

And yet the Assyrian Empire was one of the most long-lived and at it's height the largest of the Mesopotamian superstates. The implosion of the empire just 50 years after its peak and their reputation for prowess on the battlefield and cruelty to those they conquered are the stuff of Legends.

it's hard to find good reading material for ancient Mesopotamia in general, but for Assyria particular. it's easy to be skeptical of these kinds of overview topical educational series, but this one was very well done. there was much more detail than I expected. the information provided was well structured and seems genuinely unbiased. but more than anything it seems to truly appreciate the significance of the period. it's still just a broad overview, but if you're interested in the topic this isn't just a great place to start it's a great find considering the dirt of other titles available.

Fantastic!

Well Done

The Assyrians were a terrifying Semitic people who started out in their native city of Asshur. From their they spread under their first great kings like shalmanesar. They died out after they meddled with conquering the Babylonians.

Well-Researched

This was a great book! Hard to put down. Very informative to the student of Bible history, especially if you’re looking for background info, like why things happened the way they did.

A superb book

couple opinions on Scripture I didn't agree with, but other than that, was respectful to God's Word and used it at times to explain certain aspects of the history discussed in this book. I would recommend this book to any one, especially Christians who are looking for background information regarding Bible history.

Good Source

Anyone interested in the rich varieties of Eastern Christianity should own this book, which surveys the complex and fascinating history of a Church mistakenly called Nestorian. I cannot praise this enough. It is "popular history" as it should be--nuanced and based on solid scholarship.

Super

The Assyrians contested the area of today's Iraq. It was a continual battleground then and is so today. The ancient kings were like the dictators of today - always looking for an opportunity to expand their empire and then boasting about it!

Solid Knowledge

I have enjoyed this book in intervals as I only really have time in the early mornings to listen but it was easy to pick up where I left off without feeling like I needed a recap.

Easy to follow and informative

If you are in search for a brief but substantive overview of Assyrian history without all the scholar babble one typically finds with academic historical works, this is definitely the book for you! The best primer on an ancient near east nation I've come across to date. Fantastic-fascinating read from start to end!
