'the author has crafted a concise and readable narrative of the eventswhich make up the kingdom's five-hundred-year history. He illustrates his pointsand buttresses his arguments with well-chosen excerpts from Hittite sources ...Beyond its full coverage of the course of events in second-millennium Anatolia,the real strength of The Kingdom of the Hittites is that Bryce looks at theworld of the Hittites with the eye of a true historian ...
