About This Book

A detailed account of the Directory-era Mediterranean expedition traces the fleet's preparation and departure, an audacious seizure of Malta, the landing at Alexandria and subsequent inland campaigns that include a major battle near the pyramids and the occupation of Cairo. It describes the military and administrative measures taken to organize a new colonial presence, and concludes with the catastrophic naval engagement at Aboukir that destroyed the expedition's fleet and severed its maritime support, altering the mission's strategic prospects.
