History
""The Campaigns of Sargon II, King of Assyria, 721 - 705 B.C. is a
singular achievement. Sarah C. Melville has brought to life an
emperor whose military accomplishments rival those of later,
better-known generals. She portrays a man in a time when people of
influence did not want to be seen as deviating from past
traditions. And yet Sargon clearly did."" - Daniel C. Snell, author
of Life in the Ancient Near East, 3100 - 332 B.C.
