In this vivid and timely history, Juan Cole tells the story of Napoleons invasion of Egypt. Revealing the young generals reasons for leading the expedition against Egypt in 1798 and showcasing his fascinating views of the Orient, Cole delves into the psychology of the military titan and his entourage. He paints a multi-faceted portrait of the daily travails of the soldiers in Napoleons army, including how they imagined Egypt, how their expectations differed from what they found, and how they grappled with military challenges in a foreign land. Cole ultimately reveals how Napoleons invasion, the first modern attempt to invade the Arab world, invented and crystallized the rhetoric of liberal imperialism.
