The Scythians : Nomad warriors of the Steppe

The book summarizes most of what is known about the Scythians. Occasionally it spends perhaps too much time discussing the layout and contents of each kurga ("burial site"), but I suppose that's all the historians / archaeologists have to work with. The bigger issue is that the maps tend to have poor color selections which can be hard to see against the background colors, and sometimes the colors are too close to each to tell them apart.
