Synopsis

The Middle East lies at the heart of the continents of Asia, Africa, and Europe. Since ancient times, it has been politically fragmented and coveted and controlled by great powers. Yet its political weakness has helped its culture flourish. Its languages, cultures, and religious traditions continue to influence Western culture, and the region remains geopolitically crucial today.

This book surveys the history of the Middle East from 1200 to 300 BCE. It traces the histories of the Kingdom of Israel, the Kingdom of Judah, the Phoenician city-states, the Aramaean kingdoms, the Kingdom of Lydia, the Neo-Assyrian Empire, the Neo-Babylonian Empire, and, ultimately, the rise of the Persian Empire, along with the region’s splendid and magnificent civilizations.
