Episode Synopsis

Is it just me or are these shows gradually getting longer? 🙂
When we last left Napoleon, he had concluded the Italian Campaign with the treaty of Campo Formio and was a national hero. In this episode we talk about the Egyptian Campaign of 1798-99:

Too soon for his political move in France
The invasion of England postponed
In the footsteps of Alexander, off to Egypt!
Taking and re-making Malta
Reading the Qu’ran
The Rosetta Stone
The Battle of the Pyramids
The Battle of the Nile
Talleyrand’s Betrayal (the first of many)
Into Syria (Israel)
The Battles of Acre, Jaffa, Aboukir
The execution of prisoners
The sudden return to France!

In our next episode, we will watch with bated breath as Napoleon executes the coup of 18 Brumaire and becomes 1st Consul of France!
