Was ploughing though a history of the French revolutionary war era & found a remark about how the commander of the French expedition the Egypt, a General Bounaparte, was selected to head the force as the senior government leaders considered him a rival and danger to the Republic. Gen Bounaparte died in Egypt of a infected wound. Supose he had survived the campaign an returned to France? Was he actuall a contender as a leader of a goverment in the Republic & how long might he have survived in that capacity?
