"Aidan Dodson gives us a pithy and typically well-informed account of the available evidence for the reign, and of the series of extraordinary (and much-debated) dynastic events that precipitated it."—Campbell Price, Antiquity"By far the best book on Tutankhamun on the market: up to date information and analysis, clearly written, and beautifully produced."—Lloyd Llewellyn-Jones, Cardiff University"Dodson’s historical work is ever reliable, and this volume of Tutankhamun is no exception. Focusing on narrative history, chronology, major monuments, scholarly disagreements, and the reception of the boy-king’s reign, Dodson makes his mark within Egyptological Zeitgeist 100 years after the discovery of Tutankhamun’s tomb."—Kara Cooney, When Women Ruled the WorldPRAISE FOR NEFERTITI, QUEEN AND PHARAOH OF EGYPT:"The most objective and well-balanced summation of her career to date . . . . This volume is well-produced and sumptuously illustrated and a fine addition to this welcome biographical series."—Morris Bierbrier, Egyptian Archaeology"Writing an overview of Nefertiti's life and times is essentially an impossible task. . . Only a few people are up to this task, and thank Heavens that one of them is Aidan Dodson. Bravo!! Buy this book." —Stephen Harvey, Ahmose and Tetisheri Project"This thoroughly researched, documented, and illustrated book includes maps, a chronology of dynasties, extensive endnotes, and image sources. . . Recommended. Advanced undergraduates through faculty; professionals."—CHOICE"Dodson goes beyond prior scholarship by meticulously chronicling her life and offering up new theories about her origins and significance."—AramcoWorld
