Product Details
- In A History of Egypt, Jason Thompson has written the first one-volume work to encompass all 5,000 years of Egyptian history, highlighting the surprisingly strong connections between the ancient land of the Pharaohs and the modern-day Arab nation. No country's past can match Egypt's in antiquity, richness, and variety. However, it is rarely presented as a comprehensive panorama because scholars tend to divide it into distinct eras—prehistoric, pharaonic, Greco-Roman, Coptic, medieval Islamic, Ottoman, and modern—that are not often studied in relation to one another. In this daringly ambitious project, drawing on the most current scholarship as well as his own research, Thompson makes the case that few if any other countries have as many threads of continuity running through their entire historical experience. With its unprecedented scope and lively and readable style, A History of Egyptoffers students, travelers, and general readers alike an engaging narrative of the extraordinarily long course of human history by the Nile.

Egypt Editorial Review
**** "A History of Egypt: From Earliest Times to the Present" by Jason Thompson emerges as a standout historical account of Egypt, praised for its clarity and comprehensive approach. Readers commend the author's ability to present a vast and intricate tapestry of Egyptian history in an engaging manner, heightening the accessibility for both casual readers and those seeking a deeper understanding of the subject. The narrative skillfully balances factual detail with insightful analysis, making it appealing not just for history enthusiasts but also for students, travelers, and those with a casual interest in the region's past. Many reviews highlight Thompson's writing style as a refreshing departure from the typical dry textbooks, capturing the reader's attention from ancient times through to more contemporary events. However, several readers note limitations, particularly the book's conclusion at the Mubarak era, leaving a gap in the narrative that could benefit from a discussion of the more recent historical context. While the book is particularly well-researched, some critiques mention a desire for additional resources such as chronology listings, maps, and an index for easier navigation through the events and concepts discussed, which could enhance the user experience. Despite these critiques, the overarching Consensus is that this book offers a thorough and engaging educational journey through Egypt's rich and tumultuous history, making it a valuable resource for anyone looking to explore the complexities of the region. **
