5.0 out of 5 stars
Great Explanation of a Difficult Subject,
By Golden Pharaoh "goldenpharaoh50" (Calgary, Alberta Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Armies of the Pharaohs (Trade Editions) (Paperback)
The information on ancient Egyptian warfare is very elusive. One can go thru tons of texts without ever getting definite answers to specific questions. This book lays out the pharaonic army in the New Kingdom in great detail- troops, weapons, deployment, and even case studies from ancient inscriptions. This book is a must for anyone interested in military history, and/or ancient Egypt.

A scanty topic is finally pinned down,
By Golden Pharaoh "goldenpharaoh50" (Calgary, Alberta Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Armies of the Pharaohs (Trade Editions) (Paperback)
I found this book a pleasure to read as it described the aspects of warfare in ancient Egypt in a clear and consistant manner. Although a lot of work has to be done in this subject, this is definately a good start for any student or interested reader.
