Assyria: The Rise and Fall of the World's First Empire by Eckart Frahm

Assyria: The Rise and Fall of the World's First Empire by Eckart Frahm

Before Rome, before Persia, Assyria ran the first empire that looked like an empire — standing armies, provinces, deportations, propaganda carved into palace walls.

Eckart Frahm, a leading Assyriologist, covers fourteen centuries from a small trading city to the collapse of Nineveh, using cuneiform archives to reconstruct kings, taxation, religion and the invention of imperial terror as policy.

Authoritative and readable. The best modern single-volume history of Assyria.
