Hi all, was curious if there were any good books covering the campaigns of the above in the Biblical era and beyond. I know very little about the time period but would love to learn more. Im not sure if the time period has a name. Im familiar with Old, Middle, and New Kingdom Egypt and I suppose those 3 would be good places to start? I would like books though that cover not just the Egyptians obviously but those around them etc. Thanks in advance!

Not my area of expertise, but have you checked the web site Open Library? They have digitized copies of books that have fallen out of copyright, you can also borrow ebooks as well. I did a short search on Hittites, and came up with 109 hits:

For Old and Middle Kingdom Egypt, and her Middle Eastern contemporaries, there's Hamblin's magisterial Warfare in the Ancient Near East to 1600 BC.
