    Paul Evans - Sennacherib and the War of 1812

    In this episode of Biblical World, Kyle interviews Paul Evans about his new book, Sennacherib and the War of 1812: Disputed Victory in the Assyrian Campaign of 701 BCE in Light of Military History (T&T Clark, 2023). They delve into military history and consider how the goals and ideologies of individual combatants/nations lead to alternate narratives of how events unfolded and what those events meant. The ideas of what is ”true” and ”accurate” in historical reporting is given greater nuance by comparing Sennacherib’s third campaign with the War of 1812.
