Customer Reviews

An excellent introductory text

I found this an excellent introductory text for any serious student who is keenly interested in, but unfamiliar or only marginally familiar with, the region. A liberal sprinkling of lucid maps and well-annotated photographs render the book eminently readable. The strictly chronological treatment of the subject matter helps in an easy understanding of the interrelationship of the various factors at work which shaped the unfolding history of this fascinating region.
