The three-thousand year story of ancient Syria, from Bronze Age to Imperial Rome: the essential back-story to one of the world's most trouble-prone and volatile regions

Using archaeological discoveries, this book examines their society and civilization. It aims to convey a sense of what it was like to live amongst the people of the Hittite world, to share their crises, and more.

In the 14th century BC the Hittites became the supreme political and military power in the Near East. How did they achieve their supremacy? How successful were they in maintaining it? What brought about their collapse and disappearance? This history of the Hittite kingdom seeks to answer these questions.
