- The biography of the last great king of Egypt told through texts and the monuments he constructed—including his memorial temple at Medinet Habu, and his tomb in the Valley of the Kings.
- A master historian of ancient Egypt unravels Rameses III’s story—including the campaigns of the leader who decisively defeated the ‘Sea Peoples’, the resulting economic collapse of Egypt, and the assassination of the king.
- Accessibly written and fully illustrated throughout.
