In Ramesses II, Egypt's Ultimate Pharaoh Peter J. Brand paints with
authoritative knowledge and colourful details a compelling portrait
of this legendary Pharaoh who ruled over Imperial Egypt during its
Golden Age. Warrior, mighty builder and statesman, over the course
of his 67-year-long reign (1279-1212 BCE), Ramesses II achieved
more than any other pharaoh in the three millennia of ancient
Egyptian civilization. Drawing on the latest research, Peter Brand
reveals Ramesses the Great as a gifted politician, canny elder
statesman, and tenacious warrior. With restless energy, he fully
restored the office of Pharaoh to unquestioned levels of prestige
and authority, thereby bringing stability to Egypt. He ended almost
seven decades of warfare between Egypt and the Hittite Empire by
signing the earliest international peace treaty in recorded
history. In his later years, even as he outlived many of his own
children and grandchildren, Ramesses II became a living god and
finally, an immortal legend. Forty years after the publication of
Kenneth Kitchen's Pharaoh Triumphant, here at last is a fresh,
engaging look at Ramesses II, Egypt's ultimate Pharaoh
