The most famous Rifleman account in its complete and original form - unedited and unabridged. Benjamin Harris' story has rightly won its place amongst the best and most well known British Army accounts of life on campaign during the war in Spain against Napoleon's French Army. It graphically tells of the gruelling retreat to Corunna; but it is the human detail of Harris' recollections on the march and on the battlefield that have made this a classic Napoleonic period memoir. This is Harris' full story - not readily available in this form for many years - in fact the Compleat Rifleman Harris!

It does not go into any detail about the city's traditions; rituals; architecture; religion. Instead it spends 80% of it's pages into arguing with previously published papers on the reasons behind the agricultural and urban revolutions; it even spends pages arguing with the terminology. Unfortunately; it reads like a college paper that a student continuously expands to meet the minimum word count. It still provides some interesting insight into the religious organization; but it's lost among endless arguments against other historians. I suggest looking elsewhere if you want a holistic introduction into the history of Uruk. Honestly; you can learn more from just the internet. As a supplement to better works; this book works just fine though.0 of 6 people found the following review helpful. ancient historyBy noblethe oldest city in the world leaves a lot to the immagination. this treatise is a little deep for me but for the scientist who sstudy every nook and cranny of available thought on the subject...it is good reading.
