Napoleon’s Egypt and the Page 99 Test

Marshal Zeringue’s Page 99 Test highlights my new book, Napoleon’s Egypt: Invading the Middle East.

This book blog is premised on Ford Maddox Ford’s bon mot, “Open the book to page ninety-nine and read, and the quality of the whole will be revealed to you.”

Also, at the Napoleon’s Egypt Blog, Bourrienne’s account of the taking of the port of Alexandria.
