The furious thunder of thousands of hooves, the clatter and sheen of bronze armor sparkling in the desert sun, the crunch of wooden wheels racing across a rock-strewn battlefield-and leading this terrifying chariot charge, the gallant Pharaoh, the ribbons of his blue war crown streaming behind him as he launches yet another arrow into the panicking mass of his soon-to-be-routed enemies.While scenes like the one depicted above did occur in ancient Egypt, they represent only one small aspect of the vast, complex, and sophisticated military machine that secured, defended, and expanded the borders of the empire during the late Eighteenth Dynasty.In Tutankhamun's Armies, you'll discover the harsh reality behind the imperial splendor of the New Kingdom and gain a new appreciation for the formidable Egyptian army-from pharaoh to foot soldier. You'll follow "the heretic king" Akhenaten, his son Tutankhamun, and their three Amana-Period successors as they employ double-edge diplomacy and military might to defeat competing powers, quell internal insurrections, and keep reluctant subject states in line. This vivid and absorbing chronicle will forever change the way you think about the glories and riches of ancient Egypt.

La politique étrangère des pharaons du Nouvel Empire, marquée par des batailles célèbres comme celles de Qadesh ou de Mégiddo, est généralement conçue comme une phase d'expansion " impérialiste " conduite par des souverains belliqueux, tels Ramsès II ou Thoutmosis III, animés du seul désir d'exhiber leur puissance et de subjuguer des peuples jugés inférieurs, quoique riches de ressources utiles à l'Égypte. Une relecture critique des sources ainsi que la prise en compte de données géographiques jusqu'ici sous-évaluées révèlent au contraire que la guerre, bien moins fréquente d'ailleurs qu'on ne le conçoit, ne fut, avec la diplomatie, que l'un des moyens employés par les pharaons pour assurer leur approvisionnement régulier en étain, métal indispensable à la fabrication du bronze, sur lequel était fondée toute leur technologie. L'Égypte, qui s'était auparavant procuré cette ressource par des voies commerciales, dut, à partir de Thoutmosis Ier, défendre militairement et diplomatiquement ses intérêts dans ce domaine, au cours de deux grands conflits, contre les ambitions contraires de deux grandes puissances du Proche-Orient, le Mitanni et le Hatti, non moins dépendantes à l'égard de l'étain, et avides d'en soumettre le commerce à leur monopole. Cet ouvrage est l'histoire de ces conflits, de la pensée stratégique qui leur servit de guide et des solutions négociées qui leur servirent de conclusion.
