Summary "The War in Syria, Volume 2" by Charles Napier is a historical account written in the early 19th century. The text covers the complexities and diplomatic maneuvers surrounding the conflict involving the British and Egyptian forces under Mehemet Ali, focusing particularly on the negotiations related to the evacuation of Syria. The narrative provides insight into military strategies, political alliances, and the reactions of various military and diplomatic figures during this tumultuous period. The opening of the work introduces Commodore Charles Napier’s return to Marmorice Bay during a storm that affects naval operations along the Egyptian and Syrian coasts. It details his exchanges with Admiral Stopford, General Smith, and British diplomats regarding a rejected convention aimed at resolving the tensions between the Ottoman Empire and Mehemet Ali. Through letters and official reports, the reader gains an understanding of the military and diplomatic obstacles faced by Napier as he attempts to navigate the evolving situation in the Levant. The challenges he encounters illustrate the conflicting interests of various powers and the complexities of maintaining peace in a region fraught with contention.
