What the Critics Say

E. Kaufmann and R. M. Jurga.

'This volume draws on resources in Hebrew and Arabic that have not been readily accessible to Western historians ... against a backdrop of ever-shifting alliances and Byzantine political maneuvers, which Schur explains with admirable clarity, Bonaparte's motives for entering Palestine remain open to debate ... Schur raises the curtain on the Holy Land campaign and convincingly demonstrates its relevance to an understanding of Bonaparte and his time.' – Military History (USA) reviewing Napoleon in the Holy Land by Nathan Schur.

'To the modeller they could be invaluable.' – Miniature Wargames reviewing Redlegs and Sound the Charge, both by John Langellier, in the G.I. Series.
