The book explores the catastrophic end of the Bronze Age in the twelfth century B.C., highlighting the widespread destruction of major Eastern Mediterranean cities and the collapse of several kingdoms, including the Levantine, Hittite, Trojan, and Mycenaean. Robert Drews challenges conventional theories by introducing a military explanation for this historical calamity, suggesting that warfare played a crucial role in the upheaval that led to a prolonged dark age lasting over four centuries.
