Empires rise and Egypt endures. Volume III of S. Rappoport's History Of Egypt From 330 B.C. To The Present Time follows the land of the Nile from the aftermath of Alexander's campaigns through centuries of dynastic change, foreign domination and cultural resilience, offering a flowing narrative history of Egypt from 330 BC onward for the general reader and the serious student alike. Combining the sweep of story with the discipline of scholarly Egyptian history, Rappoport traces the evolution of politics and society in Egypt as it passes under Greek, Roman, Islamic and European influence, showing how Egypt under foreign rule remained a vital centre of religion, trade and learning. The result is a classic history reference book that bridges post pharaonic Egypt history with the modern Middle East, making it ideal both as Egypt history for students and as an enduring Egyptology reference for scholars engaged in Middle East historical studies and global imperial history. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint -- a collector's item and a cultural treasure. Egypt History Volume 3 stands as a key link in the complete Egypt history series, prized by casual history enthusiasts for its vivid narrative and by classic-literature collectors for its period scholarship, elegant style and lasting insight into one of civilisation's most enduring nations.
