Kandake Amanirenas: Defender of Kush (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781956776140)

Kandake Amanirenas was an African queen from Nubia who defeated the Roman Empire, winning several battles and capturing Roman cities. Even after she was blinded in one eye, when her wound healed, she returned to the war front to defend Kush. Her courage, bravery, and determination to maintain Kush's independence from Rome earned her a place in history. She is known as the "fierce and one-eyed queen Candace," who, rather than give in to the Romans after years of battle, negotiated a favorable peace treaty that endured long after her death.
