An amazing archaeological investigation on the traces and history of the Hanging Garden - not of Babylon, but Nineveh!
The book was well written, thorough and it covered every aspect of the debate about the location of the Hanging Garden. It was easy to understand regardless of one's knowledge of history and it had plenty of pictures and plans to help understand. It was also well referenced. The last two points are often missing in history or archaeology books for general audiences so I was very pleased.
I recommend it to anyone who might be even a little curious about the history of the Hanging Garden and the Assyrians or even how archaeology can help correct history!
