This book: describes how Hammurabi dealt with powerful rivals and extended his kingdom; draws on the King's own writings and on diplomatic correspondence that has only recently become available; explores the administration of the kingdom and the legacies of his rule, especially his legal code; and, demonstrates how Hammurabi's conquests irrevocably changed the political organization of the Near East, so that he was long remembered as one of the great kings of the past.
