Robert Drews is Professor of Classics and History at Vanderbilt University, where he has taught since 1961. One of his interests is the military history of the Near Eastern and Greek world during the Bronze Age, and his publications on that subject include Coming of the Greeks and The End of the Bronze Age.
'This is a thought-provoking account of early cavalry which spans the Old World. That Robert Drews is able to illuminate previously dark corners of the past owes as much to this broad perspective as it does to his handling of finds stretching right across steppe and sownlands.' - Arthur Cotterell, BBC History Magazine'This is a valuable work ... there is little to fault ... one that will make a worthwhile addition to the shelves of research libraries.' - BMCR
