The general, who had launched a dangerous and risky campaign far away from the mother country, suddenly decided at one fine moment that he had had enough and fled to his homeland, forgetting, like an unnecessary thing, his army in a distant country. His name was Napoleon Bonaparte. And then he had new victories and new glory. Meanwhile, the soldiers and officers of the Eastern Army, forgotten by him in Egypt, continued to fight and die in obscurity on the sun-scorched African soil. Moreover, the army was forgotten not only in Egypt, but also in history... The book is intended for everyone who is interested in the history of France, especially for teachers, graduate students and students of history departments of universities.
