Book Information

The discovery of the ancient city of Troy has long been attributed to the relentlessly self-promoting archaeologist Heinrich Schliemann. Now, Susan Heuck Allen sets the record straight and gives a good portion of the credit to Frank Calvert, the first archaeologist to test the hypothesis that Hisarlik in Asia Minor was the Troy of Homer's "Iliad". 55 illustrations. 4 maps.
