Cities, scripts, literature, the rule of law - all were born in
Iraq. That so many see this ancient land as nothing more than a
violent backwater steeped in chaos is a travesty. This is the place
where, for the first 5,000 years of human history, all innovations
of worth emerged. It was the cradle of civilization. In this
unrivalled study, John Robertson details the greatness and grandeur
of Iraq's achievements, the brutality and magnificence of its
ancient empires and its extraordinary contributions to the world.
The only work in the English language to explore the history of the
land of two rivers in its entirety, it takes readers from the
seminal advances of its Neolithic inhabitants to the aftermath of
the American and British-led invasion, the rise of Islamic State
and Iraq today. A fascinating and thought-provoking analysis, it is
sure to be greatly appreciated by historians, students and all
those with an interest in this diverse and enigmatic country. This
paperback edition features a new epilogue, bringing the work up to
date and looking ahead to Iraq's future.
