Why read it?

1 author picked Howard Carter and the Discovery of the Tomb of Tutankhamun as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

I have just discovered this book and read it cover-to-cover in a flash. It’s full of all the details of who Howard Carter was, how he got to Egypt in the first place, how he found King Tut’s tomb, and how he maneuvered through such a politically charged aftermath. Tons of meticulous research went into this tale. I could not put it down once I started in.

From Ann's list on King Tut and his treasures.
