Thanks there, Fitzter. Will check those buggers out. My "To Read" list is massive, but I will get to them eventually in my indefatigable manner.
The other thing I would mention about Mr. Wood is that he strikes a great balance between the romantic and the skeptical. He's always passionate about the subject without getting carried away from the factual evidence.
Wish he'd do a whole book about the Hittites. Maybe he already has.
