Critics Review

“Provides a thorough history of the Hittite kingdom, allowing readers to further understand the commonly hidden civilization of the ancient Near East.” – Middle East Journal

Provides a thorough history of the Hittite kingdom, allowing readers to further understand the commonly hidden civilization of the ancient Near East. * Middle East Journal *Trevor Bryce has devoted his scholarly career to reconstructing the civilization of the Hittites of pre-Classical Turkey. In this book he draws on this experience to present an accessible overview of the history and culture of this fascinating ancient people. When the available evidence is scanty or unclear, he invites the reader to consider his or her own solution to historical quandaries. – Gary Beckman, George C. Cameron Professor of Ancient Near Eastern Languages and Cultures, University of Michigan, USA
