Cole on CSPAN-2 Tonight at 10 EDT

Posted on 09/09/2007 by Juan

Note: My talk on Napoleon’s Egypt will be shown in the US on CSPAN-2 at 10 pm EDT on Sunday evening, September 9.

At the Napoleon’s Egypt Blog, a letter from one of Bonaparte’s scientists (a botanist) exhibiting the disillusionment the invaders felt on seizing Egypt. My assistant said it reminded him of Conrad’s “Heart of Darkness.”

Also, for those who missed it, The Nation review of the book is online.
