The Hittites: The History and Legacy of the Bronze Age's Forgotten Empire Paperback – Large Print, 11 Jan. 2017

Rather brief

Great

good history book

Too brief, short on information.

Definitely not worth the money. Looks like someone's mum printed out a high school essay.

The Hittites spoke the world s most ancient European tongue.They were followed by the Sea Peoples, The Mycenaen Greeks.

Most people, if they have heard of the Hittites at all, it was through references in the Bible. Of all the Bronze Age civilizations, with the exception, perhaps, of the enigmatic and polyglot Peoples of the Sea, the Hittites may be the least understood. While this book is not an extensive or in-depth work, it provides an excellent overview of the world of the Hittites, from their rise to their fall, synthesizing the research and excavations of the past couple centuries into a clearly written, easily understood monograph, nicely illustrated with photos and maps. For the student of history who wants to delve deeper into the Hittites an extensive bibliography is provided at the end of the work.

A must read for anyone interested in the Bronze age and in particular the history of the often forgotten Empire of the Hittites. I didn't know much about this mysterious people and this book has given me enough material to want to read some more. Recommended.

I was honestly expecting a large book, and I get this hand booklet. But I can't complain, it is informative and helpful

Concise, balanced and informative. Opens the way for a desire to learn more
