The Medinet Habu Records of the Foreign Wars of Ramesses III is a new translation and commentary of the Textual record of Ramesses III’s military activity. As such it dwells heavily upon the inscriptions dealing with Libyans and Sea Peoples. Since the format is oral formulaic, the texts are scanned and rendered as lyric. The new insights into the period covered by the inscriptions leads to a new appraisal of the identity of Egypt’s enemies, as well as events surrounding the activity of the Sea Peoples. The exercise is not intended to dismiss, but rather to complement the archaeological evidence.

The book is dealing with the inscriptions of Ramesses III's funerary temple at Medinet Habu, which have long held the interest of scholars. The present author Shlomit Israeli presents and compares in particular the grammar of the three parts: speeches uttered prior to war, presentation of captives and booty to pharaoh, and presentation of captives and booty to Amon. All speeches are fully discussed by focusing the grammatical constructions, their function and meaning, the speech types, the vocabulary, Middle Egyptian grammatical formations and the Ramesside (Late Egyptian) grammatical formations. All texts are given in hieroglyphs, transliteration and translation.
