The Warrior Pharaoh, Rameses II and the Battle of Qadesh

A military interpretation of the great clash between Pharaoh Rameses II and the Hittite King Muwatallish, together with the events that led to it. This is the earliest battle in history whose course can be reconstructed in detail, and Healy's account is illustrated with photographs of inscriptions, including pictorial reliefs on Egyptian temple walls, and photographs of the battlefield today.
