[W]ill be consumed with gusto by both fans and foes of Akhenaten and the Amarna episode of Egyptian history. --Marianne Eaton-Krauss, Bibliotheca Orientalis Ronald T. Ridley's study of Akhenaten sounds a cautionary note (a whole concert?) against anyone making claims on the distant past. He recounts dozens of conflicting theories on the ruler (supposedly the world's first monotheist) and dispenses with most of them. --David Lauhrssen, Sheperd Express This is historiography at its best. --Alan L. Jeffreys, Ancient Egypt Magazine
