I recommend the novel “Dawn of Empire”.

There was a time, long ago, when the very first town built the very first sturdy defensible wall and for the very first time successfully prevented a marauding tribe for sacking a town.

“Dawn of Empire” is a very readable account of how Orak, a town in Mesopotamia, became the first successful walled city and the core of the first great empire.

It’s both believable and a fun read.
