Ramesses II, Egypt's Ultimate Pharaoh
«The book is printed on high quality paper rendering the many full-color images of monuments, temples, and renderings of ancient paintings and inscriptions that serve as documentation of Ramesses II's reign. . . . Peter J. Brand has given us an up-to-date and illuminating account in this work, the first since Kenneth Kitchen's Pharaoh Triumphant forty years ago. It reveals both the culture and the man behind the legends of this great ruler of Egypt at the zenith of Egypt's power. . . . Brand's work helps us appreciate one of the greatest rulers in human history, often hidden in the mists of time and legend.

"Interesting, informative, extremely well written. Obviously created from a wellspring of both expertise and emotion, this is a joy to read. Kudos to the author!"

"An evocative and up-to-date account of the life and times of the man whose shadow-for better or worse-had dominated the image of pharaonic kingship over three millennia."
