A Brief History of ANKARA “…not only a readable history of the city of Ankara and its environs from the earliest times, but… also captures a sense of the change and continuity of institutions and culture in Anatolia based on years of experience in Turkey. The sections on the early Bronze Age and the Hittite Empire are recommended for scholar and general reader alike.” --Kenneth W. Harl, Tulane University “This is not simply an excellent book on the history of Ankara: it contains one of the best and most lucid descriptions of the history of Turkey that I have ever read. Each of the periods discussed here--from the Neolithic to the 20th century--is presented in a concise and extremely engaging manner. It also functions as an authoritative overview of the history of religion and archaeology in Turkey.” --C. Brian Rose, University of Cincinnati “This collaboration of two experts provides readers with an informative and entertaining account of the city of Ankara over the millennia. This handy book is both a guide to monuments in and around Ankara and a history of the city and its role in the splendid if turbulent march of civilizations across Anatolia.” --Leslie P. Peirce, University of California at Berkeley Special of the Month Bulk Discounts
