Reviews

'This book is published exactly one hundred years after the first book on the Philistines - a book by the British archaeologist R. A. St. Macalister (The Philistines 1911). While Macalister had very few sources at his disposal, Yasur-Landau can reply on extensive archaeological research as well as on a large body of literature, including the books published by Moshe and Trude Dothan published between 1967 and 2006.' International Review of Biblical Studies
