Warfare in New Kingdom Egypt, Hardback Book

Warfare in New Kingdom Egypt Hardback

Hardback

Description

The New Kingdom of Egypt marks the apogee of military organisation and preparedness.

Beginning the era under foreign occupation, the Egyptians built up an army to challenge the invaders and liberate their land.

Using the newest battlefield technologies (bows, chariots and hand weapons) the new pharaohs pushed the frontiers of the New Kingdom into Syria and Ethiopia.

This is the era of Set I, Ramses II and Thuthmoses III, the greatest military pharaohs in Egyptian history.

This book narrates this incredible rise to power and then describes in detail the way in which the Egyptian war machine was structured, how it was supplied, and how it fought.

It considers all aspects, some often neglected, such as campaign tents, logistics and rations, as well as the design of hand weapons and bows.

Many pieces of kit have been reconstructed for the book, giving the reader a very immediate sense of what an Egyptian warrior's equipment looked like. --
