Reviews

"This elegantly produced volume aims to present the educated lay
public with a fresh view of one of the most notorious periods and
characters in the long and eventful history of ancient Egypt--the
reign of the eccentric sun-worshpping king Akhenaten. . . .a fresh
work is very welcome."---Kenneth Kitchen, Times Literary Supplement

"Redford has produced a remarkable book, one that engages both scholar and general reader. . . . [He] introduces the reader to the heretic king, to 18th Dynasty Egypt, and to history at its best."
*Religious Studies Review*

"[A] first-rate book which should be in the library of every scholar and enthusiastic amateur student of ancient Egypt."---Barbara Mertz, Washington Post Book World
