5.0 out of 5 stars Fascinating book regarding a pivotal time in the Assyrian Empire
Reviewed in the United States on November 28, 2018

This biography of Sennacherib, one of the kings of the ancient Assyrian empire is extremely well written, easy to read and not too long. It makes for a fascinating reads. The reign of Sennacherib saw several pivotal moments in the history of the ancient Near East, such as the famous siege of Jerusalem (as depicted in the book of Kings and Isaiah), and the fall of Babylon. Recommend to anybody interested in deepening their understanding of the ancient near east.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent study
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 29, 2019
Verified Purchase
This book is well written & is an excellent study of a fascinating ruler. The Assyrians have suffered from being successful - their kingdom had its ups & downs but lasted a very long time - & because they do not come out of the Bible with a glowing reputation, but that is unfair. There really ought to be someone writing a popular book on the Assyrians along the lines of Paul Kriwaczek's book on Babylon. This book is helps fill out the picture of an important period.
