A review by jaredwsaltz
Ancient Near Eastern History and Culture by William H. Stiebing Jr

5.0

Absolutely excellent. Stiebing has provided one of the best introduction texts I've read--regardless of period--but to have provided this to an era as sprawling and complex as the ANE is truly remarkable. This book is easy enough to read, and strong enough in the level of information provided, that I'd have no qualms recommending it to anyone from advanced high school through graduate school.
