Napoleon launched his offensive from his base in Egypt, captured Gaza and stormed Jaffa, resulting in a massacre of the defenders. His troops were halted by Ottoman and British forces at Acre, and a protracted and bloody siege resulted. With his troops decimated by bubonic plague Napoleon eventually abandoned the expedition.","brand":"Greenhill","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67670365438251,"sku":"17346","price":14.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/militaryhistorybooks.com\/products\/napoleon-in-the-holy-land","provider":"Military History Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
