Reviews
"A sweeping, delightfully readable effort to remind us of Assyria's place in history...Mr. Frahm balances a clear-eyed account of Assyria's gruesome politics with empathetic portraits of everyday life."-- Wall Street Journal, "A superb, compelling, and exuberantly written history of the Assyrians, popularly known only as the bad guys of the Old Testament, but actually one of the most significant of all ancient Near Eastern empire builders. This book is filled with fascinating detail and cliché-busting analysis. Sweeping yet nuanced, Eckart Frahm challenges--and changes--the way we think about the Assyrians and the culture they fashioned."-- Lloyd Llewellyn-Jones, author of Persians, "A remarkable scholarly work and a masterful exploration of one of the most intriguing and influential civilizations of the ancient world...an essential addition to the libraries of history enthusiasts and scholars alike."-- World History, "Sweeping in scope yet meticulously detailed, this is a worthy introduction to a significant yet lesser-known chapter of ancient history."-- Publishers Weekly

Synopsis
A new history of Assyria, the ancient civilization that set the model for future empires 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: their vast libraries and monumental sculptures, their elaborate trade and information networks, and the crucial role played by royal women. Although Assyria was crushed by rising powers in the late seventh century BCE, its legacy endured from the Babylonian and Persian empires to Rome and beyond. Assyria is a stunning and authoritative account of a civilization essential to understanding the ancient world and our own.
