Book Description
First published over 30 years ago and long out of print, this is still the only work to deal in detail with the campaign medals of West, East and Central Africa. This completely revised and reset edition contains much new information and almost 100 additional pages. A summary of awards shows the eventual distribution of the clasps and the numbers awarded to participating units. Many European recipients are mentioned by name. Not only has a comprehensive general index been added to the new edition, but also quick reference lists of ships and clasps. No medal collector or student of African history can afford to be without this classic work.
Napoleon in Egypt
Author: Paul StrathernPublisher: Bantam
ISBN: 0553385240

Languages : en
Pages : 514
Book Description
In 1798, Napoleon Bonaparte, only twenty-eight, set sail for Egypt with 335 ships, 40,000 soldiers, and a collection of scholars, artists, and scientists to establish an eastern empire. He saw himself as a liberator, freeing the Egyptians from oppression. But Napoleon wasn’t the first—nor the last—who tragically misunderstood Muslim culture. Marching across seemingly endless deserts in the shadow of the pyramids, pushed to the limits of human endurance, his men would be plagued by mirages, suicides, and the constant threat of ambush. A crusade begun in honor would degenerate into chaos. And yet his grand failure also yielded a treasure trove of knowledge that paved the way for modern Egyptology—and it tempered the complex leader who believed himself destined to conquer the world.
