This review is from: Hittite Fortifications c.1650-700 BC (Fortress) (Paperback)
As with all Osprey books the main reason to buy them is the illustrations. These do not disappoint. This book contains detailed paintings of Hattusa, Alacahöyük, Karatepe, and Yazilikaya. It's pretty cool to see these ruins reconstructed and the artist does a fine job. The information in the book is good as well going into how the Hittites built their walls and why. It also goes into details on the main structure of the walls including the towers, ramps, ramparts, and tunnels. It then examines the fortifications of Hattusa, Alacahöyük, and Karatepe in detail. Throughout there are many photographs and diagrams. Very nice.

This interesting people had a decisive influence on all Western culture - unfortunately its role is frequently under evaluated with most people having no idea on them. This little book will bring some light on them.
Good reading, indeed. |
