Hey everyone!

Just finished Bruno Mugnai's The Ottoman Army of the Napoleonic Wars, 1784-1815 and found it to be quite brilliant. It covers the challenges faced, and reforms undertaken, by the Ottoman military during the Napoleonic Wars. I quite enjoyed the analysis of the Ottoman Empire's most notable institution, second only to the High Porte.

Sounds really interesting. I haven't touched Napoleonic history in a long time but that's definitely something that would add a lot of detail that isn't normally covered. If you're interested in the Egyptian campaign then I would highly recommend Napoleon in Egypt by Paul Strathem.

Thanks for the recommendation. If you wanted insight into the Egyptian PoVof the campaign, read Al Jabarti's account of Napoleon in Egypt. I'll make sure to check out Strathem!
