Napoleón en Oriente

Before becoming Emperor of the French, Napoleon Bonaparte had to forge his legend as a soldier and politician in different scenarios, from the siege of Toulon to the Italian campaigns. But, if there was a military expedition that placed him as the undisputed leader, it was the bloody and exotic campaign in Egypt in 1798, which would allow France to open up to the world again and position itself as a great power throughout the 19th and 20th centuries. Miguel del Rey, one of the greatest experts of the Napoleonic era, fully immerses himself in the Corsican campaigns in the East, from Egypt to Syria, whose consequences not only left their mark on the military, but also on the development artistic and cultural heritage of 19th century France.
