At Aboukir and Acre- A Story of Napoleon's Invasion of Egypt: illustrated Edition

At Aboukir and Acre- A Story of Napoleon's Invasion of Egypt as you haven't seen it before -- in a remarkable illustrated edition.

From the bustling streets of Alexandria to the vast, unforgiving deserts, Edgar’s journey is one of unlikely friendships and dangerous enemies. After saving Sidi, the son of a powerful Bedouin sheik, from a ruthless attack, Edgar gains not only a loyal companion but also a second home among the fierce and proud desert warriors. With a swift Arabian steed and a new brotherhood, he learns the ways of the Bedouins—just as Egypt erupts in chaos.

As war sweeps the land, Edgar witnesses the clash of empires firsthand. He stands amid the thundering cavalry charges at the Battle of the Pyramids, where Napoleon’s disciplined troops crush the legendary Mamelukes. He fights through the deadly streets of Cairo during the violent uprising against French rule. And when the mighty fortress of Acre comes under siege, he finds himself in the company of Sir Sidney Smith, the daring British naval officer who holds the fate of Egypt in his hands.

But danger lurks at every turn. Ruthless pirates, treacherous spies, and vengeful enemies from the alleys of Alexandria threaten Edgar’s life. As he navigates the shifting sands of war, can he survive the storms of battle and make it back home?

Packed with sword fights, naval clashes, and the thrill of espionage, At Aboukir and Acre is a gripping tale of adventure in an era when the fate of nations was decided by steel and gunpowder.
