Reviewed in the United States on June 2, 2011
This is a pretty big book of some 400 pages. But I am convinced when I say that none of them are wasted in an empty discussion or useless information. From the beginning to an end, this terse volume talks about the Hittite kingdom using the up-to-date archeological information, and actually very careful observation about things that happened so far off that there is no genuine way of knowing what and how exactly they happened.

Trevor Bryce himself must be a luminary in this field because 1st of all not many people can possess such an abundance of knowledge on a subject so specific. Secondly, as it is common for people in the academic field to have egos that are huge and hardly controlled, Trevor willingly and enthusiastically uses information from his fellow historians, and cheerfully criticizes them in search of a more precise vision of this distant and overwhelmingly interesting subject. All in all i would recommend this book, but be prepared to take this journey as it is definitely not for a novice.

Well written with a mastery of the field. Straightforward in the text with excellent footnotes winding through alternate interpretations and theory.

Book binding has come undone.
Reviewed in the United States on November 24, 2014
As with most historiography treating the Bronze Age, this book principally treats wars and diplomatic correspondence between kings -- paralleling the fortuitously baked clay archive tablets on which it is mostly based. However, this somewhat dated but still informative book also discusses linguistics, religion, and other vital aspects of the subject, insofar as they are reasonably attested and inferred. More-recent books by Bryce, on Hittite life and society and the subsequent Neo-Hittite kingdoms, unfortunately are priced for university libraries and subsidized students.

Reviewed in the United States on December 25, 2016
This deals only with the history of the Hittites with nothing about their society, religion, etc. But what it does cover it covers very well. So many books I've read on ancient societies tend to zoom over the kings, their families, their battles, foreign affairs, etc. This book covers every known historical fact in very complete way. Well written & very interesting.
Reviewed in the United States on August 7, 2020
Nice hard cover book in great shape. Detailed history of the Hittites and a window into the Levant 2000 years bc.
