Pretty fair little book that takes the reader through Mesopotamian civilization, from the early Sumerians and Akkadians, Assyria...and Babylon. Chapters focus on the history of the various empires; court life; the role of the scribe; warfare; industry; law; religion and Nebuchadnexxar's Babylon. B/w illustrations throughout. (
