Review # 1 was written on 2020-03-17 00:00:00 Robin Caudwell Very useful and scholarly work on Indian Literature, Ornate Poetry. This book helped me in my academic dissertation on Bhasa. Bhasa is a poet and playwright in the 5th Century BCE. The authors have detailed work of Bhasa in English. I strongly recommend this book for people who want to read about the history of Indian Literature. Those who know Sanskrit should read the poetry in Sanskrit. If one knows German, read the work in German. Else, English work is available and is easy to understand.

Review # 2 was written on 2016-12-15 00:00:00 Roger Pohlman This is an interesting and accessible history, although by my lights it has a couple of problems for the general reader. As someone who has no prior knowledge of Jordianian history, I found certain sections hard to follow because the author dealt more with his analysis of the causes and significance of certain events (for example the 1967 war) than the events themselves. I feel like this book would be more valuable with someone who already has a basic understanding of the history of the region, as much of this seems assumed. Acceptable for a complete beginner (like myself), but not ideal. I kept finding myself wanting more description of the events, less analysis.
