520 1  "This is a sweeping, colorful, and concise narrative 
       history of Egypt from the beginning of human settlement in
       the Nile River valley 5,000 years ago to the present day. 
       Accessible, authoritative, and richly illustrated, this is
       an ideal introduction and guide to Egypt's long, brilliant,
       and complex history for general readers, tourists, and 
       anyone else who wants a better understanding of this 
       vibrant and fascinating country, one that has played a 
       central role in world history for millennia͠and that 
       continues to do so today." "Respected historian Robert 
       Tignor, who has lived in Egypt at different times over the
       course of five decades, covers all the major eras of the 
       country's ancient, modern, and recent history. A cradle of
       civilization, ancient Egypt developed a unique and 
       influential culture that featured a centralized monarchy, 
       sophisticated art and technology, and monumental 
       architecture in the form of pyramids and temples. But the 
       great age of the pharaohs is just the beginning of the 
       story and Egypt: A Short History also gives a rich account
       of the tumultuous history that followed͠from Greek and 
       Roman conquests, the rise of Christianity, Arab-Muslim 
       triumph, and Egypt's incorporation into powerful Islamic 
       empires to Napoleon's 1798 invasion, the country's 
       absorption into the British Empire, and modern, 
       postcolonial Egypt under Nasser, Sadat, and Mubarak." 
       "This book provides an indispensable key to Egypt in all 
       its layers͠ancient and modern, Greek and Roman, and 
       Christian and Islamic."--BOOK JACKET.
