Trevor Bryce offers a chronological account of Hattusili, charting the rise of the Bronze Age Hittite prince from a sickly childhood to become - by ruthless ambition, an illegal coup and a civil war - the most powerful ruler of the ancient Near East.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIncorporating the most up-to-date archaeological material, including the archive of clay tablets and new information about the astonishingly small size of the Hittite capital Hattusa, Bryce provides the reader with a detailed examination of Hattusili's policies and military strategies.
