Battle of the Nile
1798-08-01–1798-08-03
Battle of the Nile was one of the major set-piece events of the Napoleonic Era and belongs under Egyptian Campaign.
S. Forester’s Hornblower novels, Julian Stockwin’s Thomas Kydd series, Dewey Lambdin’s Alan Lewrie series, and Dudley Pope’s Ramage novels. The Battle of the Nile gives these kinds of naval stories a dramatic model: night fighting, anchorage tactics, explosions, reputations made in hours, and the wider consequences of sea power.
