Description

The Eighth Crusade by Alexandre Dumas This account of Napoleon's Egyptian expedition and its aftermath is drawn from the personal experiences of Thomas-Alexandre Dumas, father of the renowned author. Following the "Battle of the Pyramids," a dispute arose between the two men concerning Napoleon's leadership on the long march to Cairo. The incident led General Dumas to withdraw from the campaign and return to France, where he would later share his stories with his son Alexandre. Although General Dumas died before Alexandre was old enough to join him in battle, his son went on to chronicle the events of the expedition in vivid detail. This book offers a unique perspective on one of history's most infamous military campaigns, drawing on the personal accounts of those who lived through it.
