This review is from: Phoenicians (Pelican) (Paperback)

Released in the early 70's I believe, this book originally came out as part of a series by Pelican where each book detailed a different group of people. The Vikings, Anglo Saxons, Carthage and this book here on the Phoenicians were part of the series, all originally put out with a blue cover. The scholarship on all of them is presumably dated somewhat but this book is probably still a fine primer for anyone wanting to know a bit about this group of ancients. Brief, concise and with a minimum of jargon or any self important academic ranting this work will perhaps wet your appetite for further study in this area. I found it quite a brisk read and it certainly shed a little light on this brave seafaring race of people.
