The Man Who Spoiled Napoleon’s Destiny 2/3 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Napoleon had swept north through the desert to Syria, had captured Gaza and Jaffa, and was about to attack Acre, which lay between him and his ultimate goal, Constantinople. Here Sidney Smith resolved to bar his way, and in his flagship the Tigre, with the Theseus under Captain Miller, and with two gunboats, he sailed to Acre to assist in its defense. Philippeaux took charge of the fortifications, and thus, in the breaches of a remote Syrian town, the quondam prisoner of the Temple and the ancie

Read excerpt
From March 18 to May 20, 1799—for more than sixty days and nights, that is—a little, half-forgotten, and more than half-ruined Syrian town was the scene of one of the fiercest and most dramatic sieges recorded in military history. And rarely has there been a struggle so apparently one-sided.A handful of British sailors and Turkish irregulars were holding Acre, a town without regular defenses, against Napoleon, the most brilliant military genius of his generation, with an army of 10,000 war-harde

Read excerpt
At nine o’clock the great French flagship burst into flame. The painters had been at work upon her on the morning of that day and had left oil and combustibles about.

The Sérieuse reeled under the shock of the British guns, its masts disappeared like chips, and the unfortunate ship went down like a stone. Saumarez, laying himself on the larboard bow of the Franklin and the quarter of the Peuple Sovrain, broke upon them in thunder.The Theseus followed hard in the track of the Orion, raked the unhappy Guerrier in the familiar fashion while crossing its bows, then swept through the narrow water lane betwixt the Goliath and Zealous and their French antagonists, p
The Battle of the Nile 2/4 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In the afternoon on August 1 the gliding topsails of the Swiftsure above Aboukir Island showed that the tireless Englishman had, after nearly three months of pursuit, overtaken his enemy.The French, if frigates be included, counted seventeen ships to fourteen, and ship for ship they had the advantage over the British alike in crew, tonnage, and weight of fire. In size the English ships scarcely averaged 1,500 tons; the French ships exceeded 2,000 tons. Nelson had only seventy-fours, his heaviest
