Stay of the French in Egypt.--Convention of El Arish.--Return to France. During the invasion in Syria many interesting events occurred in Egypt, which I shall now proceed to relate. The expedition projected against Cosseir, one of the ports of Egypt upon the Red Sea, has already been mentioned. It was unsuccessful. One of the gun-boats, which belonged to the small fleet intended for the attack, caught fire and blew up. The occupation of this port, which was of importance to secure the communications which Buonaparte sought to establish with the Arabian coast, was, therefore, for the present abandoned. Buonaparte, in the relation which he gave of this affair to the Directory, observed, that " the Republic would never possess a navy so long as their present maritime laws existed; that an hammoc improperly placed, or a cartridge neglected, might occasion the loss of a whole fleet; that clubs and other assemblies on board ought to be totally prohibited; and that the only authority should be vested in the captain, whose power should be more absolute than was that of the consuls in the Roman armies. That if we had not been successful at sea, it was not for want of able men, nor means, nor money, but for want of good laws. That should the same maritime system be suffered to continue, it would be better to shut up our ports than thus to throw away our resources." The army was scarcely engaged in the desert which separates Asia and Africa, when insurrections of the inhabitants manifested themselves in different places. The juncture appeared favourable to act with advantage against the troops which were left in Egypt. Cairo, however, and some other principal cities remained undisturbed. Among these insurrections, which were quickly...

Download or read book Napoleon s Egypt written by Juan Cole and published by St. Martin's Press. This book was released on 2007-08-07 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this vivid and timely history, Juan Cole tells the story of Napoleon's invasion of Egypt. Revealing the young general's 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 Napoleon's 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 Napoleon's invasion, the first modern attempt to invade the Arab world, invented and crystallized the rhetoric of liberal imperialism.

Book excerpt: In both the 1956 and 1967 wars, Abu Ageila was the main gateway to the Sinai for the Israel Defense Forces. Yet there were marked differences between Egyptian and Israeli war plans, preparations, operations, and results in the two battles for the area. In 1956, Israel carried the burden of a constricting alliance with Britain and France and faced other extensive military problems. The result was that Israel fought a difficult and costly battle for Abu Ageila. In contrast, in 1967, the Israel Defense Forces developed a brilliant operational plan and achieved effective unit command and control and attained a decisive victory.

Download or read book Bonaparte in Egypt written by J. Christopher Herold and published by Pen and Sword. This book was released on 2005-05-01 with total page 682 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This classic study of the French occupation of Egypt presents a lucid and comprehensive account of Napoleon’s stunning victories and devastating losses. Originally published in 1962, J. Christopher Herold's Bonaparte in Egypt is considered the definitive modern account of this extraordinary campaign. In an elegantly written and detailed study, Herold covers all aspects of Bonaparte's expedition: military, political, and cultural. Napoleon Bonaparte’s invasion of Egypt was a bold adventure that reached the extremes of total triumph and utter defeat. Bonaparte won a decisive victory at the Battle of the Pyramids and quickly captured Cairo. But his fleet was completely destroyed by Admiral Nelson at Abukir Bay and his ambition to conquer the Holy Land was frustrated at Acre. Despite these reverses, Bonaparte returned to France where he was greeted as a hero and seized political power in 1799. His attempt to take permanent control of Egypt and Syria for France was a critical stage on his road to power, and it is one of the most revealing episodes in his spectacular career.
