Susan Morris's Reviews > Empress of the Nile: The Daredevil Archaeologist Who Saved Egypt's Ancient Temples from Destruction

4.5 stars. A fascinating look at Christiane Desroches-Noblecourt, a French archaeologist who spearheaded the amazing effort to save ancient Egyptian temples from flooding in the 1960’s. But the book also gives much on the conflicts concerning Egypt at the time, and the role JFK and Jacqueline Kennedy played as well. I love books like this - well written nonfiction about intriguing subjects I don’t know about!
