Stackpole Books, 2001. Cloth bound hardcover with dust jacket of Memoirs of Napoleon's Egyptian Expedition, 1798-1801 by Captain Joseph-Marie Moiret of the 75th Demi-Brigade, Translated and Edited by Rosemary Brindle.

"Now available in English for the first time, Captain Joseph-Marie Moiret's memoirs shed light on this extraordinary prelude to the Napoleonic Wars. Bonaparte's plan to colonise Egypt, with its implications for wealth, trade and scientific advance, is intended to make France the envy of the world... A proud, articulate officer by the name of Moiret pledges faith to the Expedition... He sets out to document the Egyptian dream in full, beginning his story as the Army of the Orient sets sail from Toulon in 1798."

Very Good. Isolated 2-inch area of faint spotting to the edge of the page block. Otherwise nice book with light shelf wear.
