First Empires Trilogy Nebuchadnezzar's Babylonian Empire, Book 2, (Paperback)

<p><strong>Nebuchadnezzar's Babylonian Empire</strong> tells the story of a city built from clay, water, labor, temple ritual, and imperial force. Babylon was already ancient before Nebuchadnezzar II came to the throne, but under his rule it became the sacred capital of a restored empire, rising from the long shadow of Assyria into one of the most feared and admired powers of the ancient Near East. Its walls, gates, temples, canals, and palaces were not only monuments of royal ambition. They were statements of survival, devotion, control, and memory. This book follows the world that shaped Nebuchadnezzar: Nabopolassar's revolt, the fall of Nineveh, the struggle against Egypt, the battles for the western lands, the siege of Jerusalem, the politics of exile, and the building of Babylon itself. It looks beyond legend and spectacle to examine the hard realities behind the empire: bricks stamped with royal names, temples fed by land and labor, canals that sustained cities, armies that enforced obedience, and conquered peoples drawn into Babylon's reach. This is a grounded account of kingship, religion, warfare, restoration, and power in the final great age of Babylon.</p>
