All of these experiences in the ancient Mediterranean are now examined in rich detail in the recently released book Phoenician Secrets. Instead of seeing darkness in the years before classical Greece, this exploration sheds light on the contin- uous parade of remarkable societies, great leaders and epic events of those days. Drawing back the veil of secrecy surrounding the Phoenicians uncovers new glimpses of Minoans, Greeks, Sea Peoples, Egyptians and people of other societies. Sanford Holst is one of the world’s leading authorities on the Phoenicians, and appears in the BBC series Ancient Worlds. He was elected a member of the prestigious Royal Historical Society for his work in this field, and has presented academic papers on the Phoenicians at universities around the world. Working with respected experts, often on-site, he has added photos, sources, and five years of additional research to his previous work. This is a walk through the idyllic ancient Mediterranean you will always remember. David Northrup, Ph.D: "Thoroughly
researched and clearly written…a welcome addition to all libraries. Judge James Kaddo: "A well written, historically accurate book about a great civilization which has been by-passed by the annals of history. I have given many copies to my friends and they have found it equally enjoyable." Dany Chalhoub: "There are few history books so compelling as to leave you wanting to read more. I thoroughly enjoyed every moment of it. Mr. Holst has done a phenomenal job in writing as well as researching the Phoenicians. I have read other books about Phoenicians in the past and was never really impressed. This one has a special way of pulling everything together so that their accomplishments make sense." This paperback book is now available at Amazon-USA.
