It examines Assyrian and biblical texts to evaluate the conflict and argues that both sides had reasons to perceive the war as a victory. It also illustrates how the fluctuating support for wartime leaders in 1812 is analogous to positive and negative oracles regarding Jerusalems leadership during the war years. \u003c\/blockquote\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat\u003c\/strong\u003e: Hardback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 264 pages\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublication date\u003c\/strong\u003e: 23 February 2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher\u003c\/strong\u003e: Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis volume delves into the intriguing question of how both Assyria and Judah could perceive the war of 701 BCE as their respective victories. While examining the available evidence for historical reconstructions, Paul S. Evans takes a unique approach by comparing the Sennacheribs Third Campaign with the War of 1812 between Canada and the United States as an example of a disputed victory from military history. Evans meticulously examines Assyrian and biblical texts to evaluate the conflict and argues that rather than being intentionally deceptive in their accounts of the events, both sides had valid reasons to perceive the war as a victory. This comprehensive examination of military narratives also sheds light on how the shifting support for wartime leaders in 1812 parallels the positive and negative oracles regarding Jerusalems leadership during the war years. With differing perspectives on the success of the Sennacheribs Third Campaign, this book presents an engaging discussion of the events and demonstrates how our understanding of the war between Assyria and Judah can be enriched through the study of military history.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 548g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 163 x 241 x 21 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9780567708960\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dr. Paul S.Evans","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":44138588799226,"sku":"9780567708960","price":98.82,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1680269837492_book.jpg?v=1680275462","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/sennacherib-and-the-war-of-1812-disputed-victory-in-the-assyrian-campaign-of-701-bce-in-light-of-military-history-9780567708960","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
