When you think of the ancient past, do you think of ghosts as part of the culture? Here Irving Finkel introduces us to the ghosts of Assyria. And there are many and real. This is a fascinating journey through cuneiform tablets that open the door to an ancient belief in ghosts - and how to deal with them. Finkel is erudite, enthusiastic and amusing, the way history should be presented.
