Hammurabi was without doubt one of history's greatest and yet so little has been written about him. His laws are the basis of our present justice system. To bulild an empire from a group of small city states required the man to be a military and political genius. For him to produce his code shows he was no tyrant but a fair and just man.Since little has been recorded about him the writer can fill in a lot of gaps. He has captured, I think, what Hammurabi must have been like. I highly recommend both books in the series.
