That cover is of Assyrian Tanks at the Gates of Memphis by Mikhail Akhmanov from 2008.

I am afraid I have not read it.
You will probably find more hits for the author if you type his name in Cyrillic: Михаил Ахманов

Here is a blurb

The fastest things to undergo change in this world are weapons. Just a few millennia, and the sword and the chariot are replaced by machineguns and tanks. The slowest thing to change is human nature. If the soul is black, if it desires another’s blood, then even centuries of civilization can’t change it. But if it has bravery and love, then even the worst hardships won’t force a man to run away or betray. No matter what enemy he has to fight. Be it with the Germans near Moscow or with the Assyrian soldiers airdropped at the foot of the Egyptian Pyramids. Which means, “Get up, the land of Amun Ra, fight to the death, defeat the Assyrian disease, the cursed horde!”
