1798, Bonaparte et la camapgne d'Egypte

1798 was apparently a year like any other, but only apparently. Certainly this year seemed to finish off the infernal ten-year cycle which began in 1789. France was pacified, its borders consolidated. It was a larger country which witnessed the end of the 18th Century, but a country in which the ashes of the fires lit earlier hadn’t finished glowing red, relighting thus the flames of antagonism at any moment.
Started in peace, the year 1798 was to end with the clash of fighting.
With this book by Louis Marquis, the famed journalist and historian, discover this transitional year, when the young General Bonaparte’s Egyptian Campaign occupied pride of place.
