His book - published in 1816, the year after Waterloo - is one of the earliest accounts by a British officer who took part in these campaigns.

His book vividly describes the fighting around Alexandria, Rosetta and Cairo; the killing of the French commander, General Kleber, and the final surrender of his successor General Belliard. Maule's memoir concludes with descriptions of his other Mediterranean postings including Minorca, Gibraltar and the Spanish town of Ronda. Book.…
