Description
Written by Trevor Bryce, one of the world's leading experts on the Hittites, this book charts the rise and fall of a warrior people famed for their ferocity, who built an empire which stretched from Mesopotamia to Syria and Palestine.
For nearly a century, the Hittites fought a draining war against the Egyptians—the climax of which saw the Hittites defeated and their 400-year-old empire destroyed at Qadesh.
Bryce details the day-to-day lives of the Hittite warriors, examining their training, equipment, tactics, and their unique attitude to religion and warrior ethos.
This book is a fascinating and enlightening addition to an often ignored subject.
