Napoleon’s Egypt: Invading the Middle East
ഈ ഓഡിയോ ബുക്കിനെക്കുറിച്ച്
In this vivid historical account, Juan Cole tells the story of Napoleon’s invasion of Egypt in 1798.
Revealing Napoleon’s reasons for leading the expedition against Egypt and showcasing the young general’s fascinating views of the Orient, Cole delves into the psychology of both the military titan and his entourage. He paints a multifaceted portrait of the daily travails of the soldiers in Napoleon’s army, describing how they imagined Egypt, how their expectations differed from what they found, and how they grappled with military challenges in a foreign land.
Cole explains how Napoleon’s invasion—the first modern attempt to conquer the Arab world—invented and crystallized the rhetoric of liberal imperialism.
