Description:
New book, 480 pages. Napoleon's attack on Egypt in 1798 was the first on a Middle-Eastern country by a Western power in modern times. With 335 ships and 40,000 men, it was also the largest long-distance seaborne force the world had ever seen. Napoleon's assault was intended to be much more than a colonial adventure, however, for he took with him over one hundred and fifty scientists, mathematicians, artists and writers - a 'Legion of Culture' - with a view to bringing Western civilisation to 'backward' Egypt.
