The Decipherment of Linear B by John Chadwick
informative
medium-paced
4.5
I was already familiar with the history of the decipherment of Linear B and I had wanted to read this book for almost a decade. Somehow, I never did until now. Such an interesting story. As niche of a topic as it is, John Chadwick explained it clearly enough for a general audience to grasp it. Michael Ventris is one of the names of Hellenic archaeology that should be mentioned as often as Schliemann and Evans.
