Assiriiskaia derzhava.Ot goroda-gosudarstva-k imperii - Mochalov Mikhail

The proposed work is an attempt to systematically describe the centuries-old history of the Ancient Assyrian Power. Emerging on the site of the settlement of pastoralists, the tiny policy of Ashur after a few millennia turned into a huge Novosibirsk empire - in fact, the first empire in the history of mankind. This long journey was full of vicissitudes, ups and downs. However, after each period of oblivion, the Assyrian state was revived like a phoenix from the ashes. In addition to the convenient geographical location and often successful foreign policy situation, the reason for that was a whole galaxy of talented kings and rich military experience of Assyrians. The book is intended for all those who are fond of the history of ancient civilizations, in particular - the Ancient East, as well as for people interested in the phenomenon of empires.
