There are surprisingly few books on Phoenician history for the general reader, and the few that exist generally devote much of their content to Carthage. This book sticks to the early history of what is now Lebanon. It's quite old and many of the specifics have been superseded by subsequent scholarship; however, as a portrait of the culture and its progress through the centuries, it remains unsurpassed.
