From the seventeenth to the twelfth centuries BCE, the five Great
Kings of Egypt, Babylon, Hatti (the kingdom of the Hittites),
Mitanni and Assyria ruled over vast, complex territories. One of
the secrets to their control was frequent communication by letter.
Many of these letters survive to the present day, offering
fascinating insights into the people and politics of the ancient
near Eastern kingdoms. Trevor Bryce uses the letters as the focus
of a fresh look at this turbulent and volatile region in the late
Bronze Age. Throughout the book, numerous extracts from the letters
themselves are constantly interwoven into the fabric of narrative
and discussion. This lively approach allows us to witness history
through the eyes of the people who lived it, revealing the
personalities and reactions of kings, queens, princes, princesses
and royal officials more than 3500 years ago to the current events
of the day.
