The most up-to-date sourcebook on warfare in the ancient Near East

Charlie Trimm provides an introduction to the topic of war and warfare in ancient Near Eastern texts that illustrate how warfare was an integral part of life. The volume examines not only the victors and the famous battles, but also the hardship that war brought to many. While several of the texts treated here are well known, others are known only to specialists. Trimm makes these important texts on the history and ideology of warfare accessible to scholars and students alike.
