Civilizations of Ancient Iraq

by Benjamin R. Foster and Karen Polinger Foster

This fine one volume synthesis of the history of ancient Iraq takes a broadly chronological approach, detailing the rise and fall of empires in the region, and their tremendous political, cultural and technological achievements from the dawn of civilization down to the Muslim conquest in 637 AD. An epilogue takes a look at the history of archaeology in Iraq, and provides an up-to-date picture of the country's antiquities in the wake of the destruction which followed the US invasion and occupation. 297p b/w illus (Princeton UP 2009, Pb 2011)
