Realizing that I knew virtually nothing about the history of Mesopotamia, I turned to this book to get a basic grasp of the subject. The "Great Courses" audiobook is a series of 36 lectures, covering the whole ancient history of the region -- from pre-history to Alexander the Great. The material is informative and accessible, the presentation is clear, and the whole process was very enjoyable. I learned a lot, and will certainly try more "Great Courses". ( )
