In the valley of the kings : Howard Carter and the mystery of King Tutankhamun's tomb

"In 1922, the British archaeologist Howard Carter opened King Tutankhamun's tomb, illuminating the glories of an ancient civilization. And while the world celebrated the extraordinary revelation that gave Carter international renown and an indelible place in history, by the time of his death, the discovery had nearly destroyed him. Now, in a stunning feat of narrative nonfiction, Daniel Meyerson has written a thrilling and evocative account of this remarkable man and his times."--Page 2 of cover
