The early Neo-Assyrian path to empire -- Bibliography -- IndexWhile the study of Assyria as ‘the world’s first empire’ has never been more popular, the events of the foundational early Neo-Assyrian period (935–745 BC) remain only poorly understood and explained. This book re-examines the historical question of Assyria’s expansion, presenting a novel reconstruction of the early Neo-Assyrian period with the latest data (including new Assyrian kings), detailed regional studies synthesising the newest historical and archaeological findings, and interpretative essays outlining new historical factors. The resultant history is unprecedentedly complex, containing newly discovered succession conflicts, difficult compromises with neighbouring powers, local dynasties appointed to Assyrian governorships, self-serving high officials, and sudden reverses in policy. In place of circular structuralist arguments for the Neo-Assyrian expansion, it presents a new model emphasising internal political conflict, and competing visions for Assyria’s future. This book is intended for historians and archaeologists of Assyria, for whom it will provide a new basis for research, and also for scholars of neighbouring disciplines and laypersons interested in what happens to an ancient state before it becomes an empire.Untersuchungen Zur Assyriologie und Vorderasiatischen Archäologie SeriesAssyria.Neo-Assyrian.expansionary politics.Edmonds Alexander Johannesauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut0Assyrian Cultural Foundationfndhttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/fndDE-B1597DE-B1597BOOK996659457403316Triumph and Betrayal4378973UNISA
