A new history of Assyria, the ancient civilization that set the model for future empires

At its height in 660 BCE, the kingdom of Assyria stretched from the Mediterranean Sea to the Persian Gulf. It was the first empire the world had ever seen. Here, historian Eckart Frahm tells the epic story of Assyria and its formative role in global history. Assyria’s wide-ranging conquests have long been known from the Hebrew Bible and later Greek accounts. But nearly two centuries of research now permit a rich picture of the Assyrians and their empire beyond the battlefield: their vast libraries and monumental sculptures, their elaborate trade and information networks, and the crucial role played by royal women.

Although Assyria was crushed by rising powers in the late seventh century BCE, its legacy endured from the Babylonian and Persian empires to Rome and beyond. Assyria is a stunning and authoritative account of a civilization essential to understanding the ancient world and our own.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"An extremely readable introduction to Assyria and the Assyrians, from their origins to their ultimate demise. Frahm presents a wealth of knowledge and information in an accessible manner, and with relevance to today, which will be of interest to scholars, students, and members of the general public alike."—Eric Cline, author of 1177 B.C.
“Eckart Frahm has produced a compelling account of how the Assyrians built an empire that ruled over large territories and diverse peoples. Assyria offers us a new way to think about the formation and sustainability of an imperial model that has shaped human experiences for much of the past 3000 years. It is ancient history that remains relevant to this day.”—Edward J. Watts, author of Mortal Republic
“A superb, compelling, and exuberantly written history of the Assyrians, popularly known only as the bad guys of the Old Testament, but actually one of the most significant of all ancient Near Eastern empire builders. This book is filled with fascinating detail and cliché-busting analysis. Sweeping yet nuanced, Eckart Frahm challenges—and changes—the way we think about the Assyrians and the culture they fashioned.”—Lloyd Llewellyn-Jones, author of Persians

There is so much covered here, it was simply fascinating. I appreciated the summary at the end covering the damage inflicted by ISIS and the meaning behind it.

Fascinating!

The narrator has such a wide range in the volume of his reading that I missed about 15% of the book. He little more than whispers the last 2 to 3 words while almost shouting the first few.

Too much volume change in narration

wanting to learn more about assyria for an upcoming video game I got far more than I bargained for! exceptionally narrated this boom takes you through what feels like a fever dream of history. it takes you along on the journey of the world's first empire step by step.i honestly want to listen to it again right now! p.s the final bit talking about ISIS is particularly moving and makes one believe in karma, the good of humanity and justice.

wow, a moving masterpiece!

The book was extremely wellwell written and could be easily fallen by non-scholars scholars in those raiders who just enjoy history. The narrator is great, and kept my interest throughout the entire book.
