A great book that will go over many aspects and history of Egypt (past and recent history). I will re-read this.

What's impressive with this book is the range and depth of information that is packed away inside. It's quite a feat to be able to fit 5000 years of history, well, actually 33 million years (as it starts from prehistory), into one portable volume. I took this with me when I went to Egypt and it never left my side. Honestly, I could look up anything, and it would have a pithy account which just slotted right into the overall picture of things. As far as I know there's no other book out there that covers Egypt's entire history (and that's quite a lot of ground, believe me!) -- right up to 2006. Incredible really! And it's very readable too. Well done.

This overview of the history of Egypt begins with geography about 22,000 years ago and goes through 2002. It covers a lot, and thus was somewhat factual and dry. There are very few illustrations, but several good maps which were very helpful. It is interesting to find out that after it's great civilizations before the time of Christ, that it was ruled by foreigners for over 2000 years until 1956, when the last British soldier left. The back of the book has a nice list of rulers and chronology of events, as well as a glossary and index.

A well-written background for those traveling to Egypt, especially for those interested in learning more about both ancient and modern history of the country.
