Description
Written by 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.
The author examines their training, equipment, tactics and motivations. Rare first-hand sources describe day-to-day life, from the rituals of the king's bodyguards to the training of horses and the warriors who rode them in battle. This, together with original full-colour illustrations, makes this book a fascinating and enlightening look at an often ignored subject.
