The Napoleonic Wars

At a time when revolutionary France was assailed from all sides, there emerged a young military officer whose genius and ambition assured him of great fame—and notoriety. In this program, Dr. David Chandler—world-renowned authority on the Emperor Napoleon and author of The Campaigns of Napoleon—provides full commentary on the strategies and tactics of the Napoleonic Wars. Large-scale reenactments bring to life the military campaigns that so strongly influenced a century of European history. Maps, hundreds of images and paintings, and analyses of the weapons used by the opposing armies also contribute to this thorough examination of the Napoleonic era. (31 minutes)
