Backed by an unparalleled military force, Sargon II outwitted and
outfought powerful competitors to extend Assyrian territory and
secure his throne. As Sarah C. Melville shows through a detailed
analysis of each of his campaigns, the king used his army not just
to conquer but also to ensure regional security, manage his
empire's resources, and support his political agenda. Under his
leadership, skilled chariotry, cavalry, and infantry excelled in
all types of terrain against an array of culturally diverse
enemies. This book represents the first in-depth military study of
the great Assyrian king. Drawing extensively from original sources,
including cuneiform inscriptions, the letters of Sargon and his
officials, archival documents, and monumental art, Melville
presents Sargon's achievements as king, diplomat, and conqueror.
Contrary to the stereotype of the brutal Assyrian despot, Sargon
applied force selectively, with deliberate economy, and as only one
of several possible ways to deal with external threat or to exploit
opportunity. The Campaigns of Sargon II demonstrates how Sargon
changed the geopolitical dynamics in the Near East, inspired a
period of cultural florescence, established long-lasting Assyrian
supremacy, and became one of the most influential kings of the
ancient world.
