An insightful look at the rise and fall of Mesopotamian cities. Highly recommended for history enthusiasts.

A decent overview, but I wish there was more detail on daily life. Still, a good starting point for Mesopotamian history.
Kumar Satyam –
It’s okay. It covered the timeline well, but there’s not much exciting outside of the facts. Pretty bland.
Jitender Dadarwal –
The maps could be better. It was hard to visualize the locations of some of the cities. Overall okay.

I was expecting something different based on the cover. It’s a solid history book, but not exactly thrilling.

The beginning was interesting. It was, however, a bit hard to track the names, dates, and places after that.
