A Handbook of Political History

Syria 3000 to 300 B.C.

Klengel's Geschichte des Hethitischen Reiches is the first modern handbook encompassing the whole of the political history of the Hittite Empire (ca. 1700-1200 B.C.). Organized in a strict chronological order, with separate sections on sources and secondary literature preceding each chapter, with chronological tables, a bibliography, and a separate section on political structure, this will be a standard reference work in the field for years to come.
