| Notes: | Subtitle: Book One: The Near East Brief, choppy history of Near East civilizations including Sumeria, Egypt, Babylonia, Assyria, Judea and Persia. So cluttered with factlets as to be unmemorable. Served in large part as a vehicle to attack God and the Bible, relegating all of it to myth stolen from other cultures. I quit reading the book one-third of the way through out of boredom and disgust. |
