Kitchen discusses the early life and childhood of the young king, his reign, politics, wars and policies, and his death and the after-life. This book is to be read rather than studied and is more than a simple biography, giving the wider context of Ramesses' life; daily life in the towns and cities, temples and the gods, political advisers and the royal family.
