Bonaparte arrived in 1798 with an army and a shipload of scholars, and announced to the Egyptians that he was a friend of Islam. Browne, who knew the country and its people, sets the French adventure against what Egypt was actually like then and in his own day, and is not taken in by the proclamations or the legend.
