I am not a historian; just enjoy listening to the history. This time period is especially interesting to me. I found this book well written, easy to understand. Information well organized and well presented.
A fascinating and informative book - just the kind of history I like to know, written by a knowledgeable scholar who knows how to write a cracking good story!

Nice Work

Thorough examination of potential causes of the end of the Late Bronze Age sans arrogant assumptions or condescending references. Builds on previous work without discounting any and provides multiple points of view.

Good Research
Any additional comments?
Intriguing history reflecting recent research, it suggests that entire civilizations fell apart at more or less the same time, and no one really knows why. Eerily, the book talks about conflict, conquest and domination patterns those are familiar yet today.
