Gerald Hawkins,

Stonehenge Decoded (Garden City, N.Y.: Doubleday, 1965). In spite of his flaws, Hawkins had a flair for drama, and the book still makes for exciting reading .

Richard Atkinson, “Moonshine on Stonehenge,”

Antiquity

40, no. 159 (September 1966). The leading archaeologist’s response to Hawkins .

Jacquetta Hawkes, “God in the Machine,”

Antiquity

41, no. 163 (September 1967). Hawkes is rightly famous for saying that “every age gets the Stonehenge it desires, or deserves.” Her words could just as appropriately be applied to just about every mystery of history in this book .

Christopher Chippindale,

Stonehenge Complete (Ithaca, N.Y.: Cornell University Press, 1983). Though “complete” can only be an overstatement when the subject is Stonehenge, the book is a very thorough historiography that includes just about “everything important, interesting, or odd that has been written or painted, discovered or felt, about the most extraordinary of all ancient buildings.”
