Review title: The Bronze Age Comes to an End
Product review: This book is an excellent look at the collapse of Bronze Age civilization around 1200 BC. It should be noted that this book is not intended as an introduction. If you don't know who the Hittites are you will be hard-pressed to understand them afterward, although you would be able to explain their fall. This book is basically an argument about the cause of the collapse. His argument is compelling but he doesn't skip on the other theories just because they disagree with him. While he points out their various flaws he gives them a chapter each to give their points of view. At no point does he seem pretentious and he's never boring. Although he pushes his views he doesn't deny the others their points. So if you want to understand how the Bronze Age ended this is an excellent book to read. I don't think that he's convinced me, but at no point did I feel he was insulting me for being so stupid as to disagree with him.
