Assyria by Eckart Frahm

This book’s full title is Assyria: The Rise and Fall of the World’s First Empire. This is an absolute wonderful book. I know about the Assyrian as I have read a lot of history, but I had never just read a book on them. I do love history. This book is well written and a pleasure to read.

Steve Donoghue’s review on Open Letters gives you a good feel of what it is like to read this book. William Peace on his blog gives a good overview of this book. This last items is an interview by Susan Gonzalez with Eckart Frahm.

Eckart Frahm for MV Public Library discusses his book. It not always easy to listen to as he seems to drone on, but it does cover all the points in the book. In this video, Eckart Frahm is interviewed on MoAn Inc about this book.

An index of the books I have reviewed are on my website at Books. I have three blogs. The first talks only about specific stocks and is called Investment Talk . The second one contains information on mostly investing and is called Investing Economics Mostly. My last blog is for my book reviews and it is called Non-Fiction Mostly. Follow me on Twitter.
