"Geoffrey Turner has written the definitive study of the mid-19th century excavations
sponsored by the British Museum at the ancient Assyrian site of Nineveh in Iraq. Based
on exhaustive analysis of unpublished archives combined with his own extensive knowledge
of Assyrian architecture, Turner's work documents the complete history of these excavations.
Turner also draws on the archives and numerous additional sources to provide a detailed
reconstruction of the architecture and relief sculpture in the building that was the
primary focus of these excavations, the Southwest Palace of Sennacherib (ruled 705-681
BC). The result constitutes the final report both on the results of these excavations
and on the original appearance of one of the ancient world's most famous buildings"
