This examination of the reign of Nebuchadrezzar II of Babylon
(605-562 BC) includes revised interpretations of the "Babylonian
Chronicles" for his reign, especially for the years of the
campaigns against the West and the capture of Jerusalem.
Excavations at Babylon are used to give a view of the city in
Neo-Babylonian times, including the royal Hanging Gardens and the
Ziggurat. The varied literary genres current in this city of
learning in the 6th century BC (including dreams and prophecies)
and the role of hostages, exiles and prisoners of war are used to
throw light on the life of the Jewish exiles there. An assessment
of the character of Nebuchadrezzar as a military and political
leader, religious devotee and legal administrator is attempted on
the basis of textual evidence.
