Reviewer comment: The author's thesis is that
the widespread social collapse and physical destruction of many cities ca. 1200
was due to drastic changes in warfare related to the replacement of bronze
weapons with iron weapons. In the initial chapters he discusses some of the
standard scholarly explainations. In later chapters he discusses the role of
chariots and other troop types and then the impact of the new iron weapons.
