The Horse, the Wheel, and Language: How Bronze-Age Riders from the Eurasian Steppes Shaped the Modern World by David W. Anthony, is a long book, and not for the beginner to the subject, or someone not completely dedicated to the topic.
The first part of the book handles the reconstructed language of Indo-European based on its descendant languages. After that, Anthony provides a detailed overview of many, many, far too many, archaeological Bronze Age sites. At this point, the urge is to skim is great, the sections are so similar.
For me, this book went into the weeds. The author got caught up in detail and lost forward momentum and fatigued me.
