Examines the question of the origins of man's relations with the horse. This work questions the belief that on the Eurasian steppes men were riding in battle as early as 4000 BC, and suggests that it was not until around 900 BC that men were proficient enough to handle a bow, sword or spear while on horseback.

The Bronze Age came to a close early in the twelfth century bc with one of the worst calamities in history: over a period of several decades, destruction descended upon key cities throughout the Eastern Mediterranean. This title rejects the traditional explanations and proposes a military one instead.
