Bemerkungen

Die Broschur ist leicht berieben, bestoßt und minimal markiert, die Seiten sind papierbedingt gebräunt und mit Bleistiftmarkierungen versehen. Sonst ein gutes Exemplar. Darüber hinaus befindet sich ein Zeitungsauszug im Vorsatz/ The booklet is lightly rubbed, the pages are browned due to the paper and have pencil markings. Otherwise a good copy. In addition, there is a newspaper excerpt in the endpaper. - Originally published in 1962, J. Christopher Herold's Bonaparte in Egypt, is the best modern account of this extraordinary campaign. In a detailed study, elegantly written, Herold covers all aspects of Bonaparte's expedition: military, political, and cultural. It was a bold adventure, full of drama, topped and tailed by the extremes of total triumph and utter defeat. Although Bonaparte was victorious at the Battle of the Pyramids and occupied Cairo, his fleet was completely destroyed by Nelson at Abukir Bay and his ambition to conquer the Holy Land was frustrated at Acre. Despite these reverses, Bonaparte returned to France where he was greeted as a hero and seized political power in 1799. His attempt to take permanent control of Egypt and Syria for France was a critical stage on his road to power, and it is one of the most revealing episodes in his spectacular career. J. Christopher Herold was an editor at both Columbia University Press and Stanford University Press, as well as the author of numerous books, including: Mistress to an Age: A Life of Madame de Stael, The Age of Napoleon, and The Mind of Napoleon. He died in 1964. ISBN 9781844152858
