Description
Book SynopsisThe
Historical Dictionary of Ancient Egyptian Warfare is aimed primarily at students and the interested reader. It presumes no detailed knowledge of ancient Egypt. The arrangement of the book as a dictionary means that it can be used on its own as a research tool, or in conjunction with other works, such as histories, or translations of Egyptian texts. The user can find concise definitions and descriptions, and brief accounts of military actions. Through the cross-referencing of each entry, and in conjunction with the bibliography, the user can pursue the wider issues and find more detailed studies.
Trade ReviewThe introduction successfully draws the reader's attention. But perhaps its greatest contribution is its final section, the selected bibliography, which deserves special recognition for its inclusiveness and organization....Ancient Egyptian Warfare will be most useful to the student, although the excellent further readings section will appeal to the seasoned scholar as well. * Journal of African History *
