Editorial Reviews

"A magnificent book."--New Statesman

"Outstanding, both for the meticulous scholarship for which the author is renowned among Egyptologists and for the humanity and understanding with which he approaches this subject."--Times Literary Supplement

"Presented with an authority which cannot be surpassed...with notable frankness, and with a detached enthusiasm...which reflect the long life of a scholar whose vocation has at the same time been his hobby."--The Spectator

"A 'must' for students of Egyptian history."--John W. Betlyon, University of North Florida
