It explores the actions of a variety of Egypt’s imperial governments from the dawn of the state until 1069 BCE as they endeavoured to control fiercely independent mountain dwellers in Lebanon, urban populations in Canaan and Nubia, highly mobile Nilotic pastoralists, and predatory desert raiders. The book is especially valuable as it foregrounds the reactions of local populations and their active roles in shaping the trajectory of empire.
