You Wouldn't Want to Be an Assyrian Soldier by Rupert Matthews illustrated by David Antram*

This book shares how the life of an Assyrian soldier during King Sargon II's reign.  Interesting ways the soldiers and its army conducted battles were explained. 
I read this aloud to my boys during our study of Assyria.  For the sake of the audience, this book did not portray how brutal the Assyrians were to their enemies and captives.
*Highly recommend (this book and the series).
-Borrowed via inter-library loan (county libraries do not have it).
