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.

Christian Mann gibt einen Überblick über die antike Militärgeschichte von den homerischen Epen bis zur Spätantike. Behandelt werden Bewaffnung und Kampftaktiken der antiken Heere, vor allem aber die Stellung von Soldaten in der Gesellschaft sowie die ökonomische und kulturelle Dimension von Kriegführung. Im zweiten Teil erklärt der Autor verschiedene Forschungsansätze, etwa die klassische Schlachtengeschichte, die Sozialgeschichte der Soldaten oder die psychohistorische Erforschung von Kriegserfahrungen. Militärische Phänomene werden in ihrer Wechselwirkung mit gesellschaftlichen und ökonomischen Entwicklungen diskutiert und Strategien der Legitimation von Kriegen in der griechischen und römischen Kultur dargestellt. Den dritten Teil bildet eine ausgewählte, thematisch gegliederte Bibliographie.
