This fascinating book is an excellent resource to have on the ancient Assyrians. It begins with a history of the Assyrians, from earliest times, through their rise to greatness, and on to their fall. Then, the book gets into the part that is its truly greatest part, a look at the tactics and technology of the Assyrian army. The crowning glory of the book, though, is definitely the twelve color illustrations by the great Angus McBride, which shows the Assyrians as they truly looked. This is a great book, an excellent resource for anyone who is studying the Assyrians or ancient warfare. Even though the book is short, it is crammed full of useful and interesting information, one that I highly treasure. I give this gook my highest recommendation.
