I did read this...guess I didn;t see that it was chapter one.

It seems to me that she barely hints at the obvious...that there is no way modern Assyrians OR Chaldeans are actually related to the ancients....she skirts the issue, but the truth is there, hidden well.

I was glad to see her mention that after WW I the assyrians who flooded into Iraq were NOT "indiginous"...they were refugees from Iran and Turkey...and it was THESE refugees who agitated for a "homeland"...to be given them from Iraq. They were opportunists and ungrateftul then, and they still are. Iraq owed them nothing...but was willing to settle them, as new citizens....which they refused and then went to work as Levies/traitors and then went around shooting innocent people when they couldn't get what THEY said was "promised" to them....which led to the events which resulted in Semele...which they then tried to blame on Iraq...when it was THEIR own fuck-ups all along.

Iraq welcomed then and only turned on them when some of THEM betrayed the country and made themselves unwelcome.

This author doesn't go as far as Dr. Joseph in telling the truth...but then her advanced degree is in philosophy...not history.

Still...it's great to see another civilized scholar...to make up for all the barbarians spewing "books".
