Backed by an unparalleled military force, Sargon II outwitted and outfought powerful competitors to extend Assyrian territory and secure his throne. As Sarah C. Melville shows through a detailed analysis of each of his campaigns, the king used his army not just to conquer but also to ensure regional security, manage his empire’s resources, and support his political agenda. Under his leadership, skilled chariotry, cavalry, and infantry excelled in all types of terrain against an array of culturally diverse enemies.\nThis book represents the first in-depth military study of the great Assyrian king. Drawing extensively from original sources, including cuneiform inscriptions, the letters of Sargon and his officials, archival documents, and monumental art, Melville presents Sargon’s achievements as king, diplomat, and conqueror. Contrary to the stereotype of the brutal Assyrian despot, Sargon applied force selectively, with deliberate economy, and as only one of several possible ways to deal with external threat or to exploit opportunity.\nThe Campaigns of Sargon II demonstrates how Sargon changed the geopolitical dynamics in the Near East, inspired a period of cultural florescence, established long-lasting Assyrian supremacy, and became one of the most influential kings of the ancient world.

The Life and Letters of Laurence Sterne by Lewis Melville

BiblioLife

This classroom friendly edition contains: Young Goodman Brown, Bartleby The Scrivener, The Cask of Amontillado, To Build a Fire, The Open Boat, The Outcast of Poker Flats, The Gift of the Magi, The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County, Desiree's Baby, and Hands Edgar Allen Poe, Nathaniel Hawthorne, and Herman Melville were sometimes friends, sometimes bitter rivals. Mark Twain called Poe's prose "unreadable," while Kate Chopin embraced Twain's use of dialect and local color. Stephen Crane used the eastern City, and Jack London used the rugged Northwest to explore the greatness of their country and her people. The writers in this collection-all of whom helped turn the trickle of American literature into a torrent-set literary milestones. Always pushing and stretching their art into something new, they remained ever grateful for what the generation before had prepared for them and careful to leave a rich legacy for the generation that would follow. Be a part of this great American conversation. From Goodman Brown's longing for salvation from inescapable evil, to Désirée's dangerous struggle for racial equality, these stories resonate with self-sacrificing heroism, petty revenge, true love in the midst of abject poverty and human foolishness in the face of nature's indifference. They are the stories of Americans. They are the stories of America. This Prestwick House Literary Touchstone Classic includes a glossary and reader's notes to help the modern reader appreciate each story's unique qualities.
