Marc DeSantis, Layard at Nineveh

Both Nora Kubie’s 1963 Road to Nineveh and Gordon Waterfield’s 1968 Layard of Nineveh provide accessible and detailed narratives of Layard’s life and his work on Mesopotamia. Layard’s career after he left archaeology is of vast interest as well, and Waterfield devotes a good portion of his book to his subsequent career in politics and government service.
