Qadesh 1300 BC

Σειρά CAMPAIGN βιβλίο No 22: Qadesh 1300 BC - Clash of the warrior kings

A fascinating illustrated account of the earliest battle in history that can be reconstructed in detail.

Qadesh pitted the two great warriors of the age against each other, Muwatallish of Hatti and the great warrior-Pharaoh Rameses II. With the Hittites gaining the initial advantage, all seemed lost until Rameses himself led his personal followers into the fray. However, in spite of the appearance of Egyptian reinforcements, the bravery of the pharaoh and the tactically superior showing of the Egyptian chariotry, the dislocation of his army frustrated the Pharaoh's wider strategic aspirations.

Mark Healy recounts the course of this key battle, which could so easily have gone either way.
