Description
Malta, the much contested Mediterranean island most famous for its endurance during the air siege by Germany and Italy in World War II, also played a major part in the French revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars. This important and rare book, first published in 1909, narrates the history of the island under first French revolutionary, and finally British occupation between 1798 and 1815. The book contains an unusual collection of English and foreign documents describing the fighting between the French and the British, aided by the Maltese, Potuguese and Neapolitan allies which culminated in Britain taking and holding the island.
