naval warfare. Hamblin pays particular attention to the earliest known examples of holy war ideology in Mesopotamia and Egypt and argues that this era laid the foundation for later Near Eastern concepts of holy war, and that such understandings remain of vital significance in the world today. Beautifully illustrated, including maps of the region, this book is essential for experts and non-specialists alike.
