Sethy I, King of Egypt
«Dodson is one of the most prolific authors of useful and readable Egyptological books, all extensively illustrated and referenced ... It has taken some 2,750 years since Sethy died for this superb biography to detail his life and monuments, taking him out from under the heavy shadow of his much written about vain-glorious son Ramesses II, and showing who really was the precursor of Egypt's greatness. Eminently readable, splendidly illustrated and well referenced, this book cannot be too highly recommended.»

«Well illustrated ... The large colour photographs of these walls scenes are clear enough to allow the reader to pick out almost every detail.»
