I'm reading "Mirage" by Nina Burleigh - the account of Napoleon's invasion of Egypt in 1798 that discovered the Rosetta Stone, but lost the war. Fascinating account of the hundreds of academics, scientists & students he took to Egypt, and then abandoned there. I'm a bit disappointed by the quality of the photos - on the DX - when zoomed up to full page they tend to pixelate - but then, this wasn't a "DX Enhanced" book.
