At Aboukir and Acre: A Story of Napoleon's Invasion of Egypt
The year is 1798. Napoleon Bonaparte leads his conquering army into Egypt, and young Edgar Blagrove, son of an English merchant trading in Alexandria, finds himself caught between empires. When the French fleet is shattered at the Battle of the Nile, Edgar throws his lot in with the British, serving the fiery Sir Sidney Smith and witnessing firsthand the siege of Acre, where Napoleon's march on India is finally turned back. Henty populates his historical canvas with color and verve: desert battles, narrow escapes, the clash between French精度 and Arab resistance, and the strange, fleeting moment when European powers tore at the edges of an ancient world. This is adventure history at its most rip-roaring, with a boy at its center who must choose loyalty over safety and courage over certainty. For readers who cut their teeth on imperial adventure tales, who want their history with gunpowder and glory.
