Editorial Reviews
Review
“This is the third edition of a classic made all the more popular as we try to understand the origins of today’s Middle East with its wars, hatreds, dictatorships, genocides and infamous new caliphates that hold nothing but terror for those who will not bow the knee to jihadi dogma.” (Unrv.com, 1 January 2016)
“For these reasons and for many more, this volume deserves considerable praise and lasting admiration.” (RBECS.org, 27 December 2015)

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
But other than that the actual book itself is pretty good. It has lots of pictures and maps which are cool, although if you're not into ancient mesopotamia and the Sumerians it can be a bit dull.
