Elayi's book is the only existing biography of Sargon II, the famous Assyrian king, who was a megalomaniac and a warlord. Among the most important questions addressed in the book are the following: what was his precise role in the disappearance of the kingdom of Israel? How did he succeed in enlarging the borders of the Assyrian Empire by several successful campaigns? How did he organize his empire (administration, trade, agriculture, libraries)? What was the so-called 'sin" of Sargon?

"Josette Elayi's Sennacherib, King of Assyria is the only extant biography of Sargon II's infamous son. This critical resource for students and scholars traces the reign of Sennacherib in context in order to illuminate more fully the life and contributions of the warlord, builder, innovator, and social reformer, who was unique among the Assyrian kings. Elayi offers both an evaluation of this royal figure and an assessment of the Assyrian Empire by interpreting the historical information surrounding the decisive events of his reign."--Provided by publisher.

"Le premier grand empire de l'Antiquité enfin révélé ! L'Empire assyrien est le premier empire universel connu de l'Antiquité. À son apogée, son territoire s'étend de l'Iran occidental à la mer Méditerranée, de l'Anatolie au nord du désert syro-arabique. Mais la roche Tarpéienne est proche du Capitole, et il disparut brusquement en 610 avant J.-C. Reprenant le fil de l'histoire, Josette Elayi entreprend une vaste enquête sur cet empire oublié. La Bible disait du peuple assyrien qu'il était féroce et sans culture. Les découvertes faites depuis le XIXe siècle témoignent, au contraire, d'une civilisation fastueuse et éclairée : ce sont les Assyriens qui les premiers fondèrent de grandes bibliothèques, des parcs botaniques et zoologiques, et qui entreprirent des réformes sociales et religieuses. Cette dimension culturelle, comme un écho de leurs exploits militaires, demeure gravée dans les annales des rois soucieux de léguer à la postérité la gloire de leur règne. Se fondant sur les dernières découvertes, Josette Elayi lève le voile sur l'une des plus grandes civilisations de l'Antiquité et revient sur les événements majeurs qui ont marqué son histoire, comme la destruction du royaume d'Israël ou de la fabuleuse Babylone, grande rivale de l'Assyrie. Un ouvrage essentiel sur le Proche-Orient des VIIIe et VIIe siècles avant notre ère, appelé à devenir un classique."
