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. --
