Very Nice


This book is a pretty good overall look at the Assyrians. It is not extremely detailed but is a good reference book and not a bad book.

Boring trying to be exiting

Just telling something is exciting in an exciting voice doesn't make it exciting. The tale of the sumerian epoch IS indeed exciting, but not in this version.

Assyrian history

Poor and shallow historical review.
Exceedingly repetitive.
Occasional inaccuracies and inappropriate historical comments and comparisons.
