9781892840011: The Battle of Megiddo

Synopsis

The motives for Thutmosis III's military campaigns in the Near East are far from clear. Based on a detailed study of the royal annals, Goedicke attempts to piece together a better picture of the political events leading up to the period of Egyptian expansion, Thutmosis's aims, his instructions to the army, the battle of Megiddo, its aftermath, the siege of Megiddo and its eventual surrender. Goedicke also presents additional sources for the major events.

Review

... articulate and meticulously researched ...'
'... a carefully documented and persuasively argued study of one of the most important military encounters of ancient Near Eastern history. Leaving no clue unexamined, Goedicke often departs from his predecessors, but only after taking great pains to justify himself. The result is an informative, though-provoking study that, if not the last word on Thutmose IIIs First Campaign, certainly goes a long way toward filling that need.'
