1799. July… August… September… Three months in which the Allies’ pivot north to Switzerland fails thanks to a fightback from Massena... the British team up with the Russians in a bid to stir up Holland… And in Egypt Napoleon Bonaparte wins another victory for the French against the Ottomans - before sneaking off in the night on a fast ship back to France. This is episode 31 of the Napoleonic Quarterly - covering three months of desperate fighting - and desperate measures.
