1177 B.C.: The Year Civilization Collapsed (Cline, 2014)

Historiographical Study (Book)

A systems-collapse account of the Late Bronze Age Collapse, arguing that no single cause, including the Sea Peoples, explains the circa 1200 BCE collapse of the eastern Mediterranean's interconnected civilizations, but a cascade of climate stress, earthquakes, internal revolt and severed trade routes.
