Leaders of Ancient Egypt
Susanna Thomas
Paperback
(PowerKids Press, Jan. 1, 2005)
Introduce students to the great political leaders of classical antiquity--the pharaohs, emperors, statesmen, and stateswomen who ruled the great civilizations of the past. Here are the stories of their struggles for power, the monuments they built, how they dealt with neighboring nations, how well or how poorly they ruled over their own people, and the political legacy they left for modern times. Illustrated with primary sources, these biographies also provide an intimate look at the leaders personal lives, and reveal much of what ordinary life was like during the periods of their rule.
