SUMMARY:Napoleon: The Man and the Method
DESCRIPTION:Napoleon remains a character of endless fascination\, even more than two centuries after his death.  The God of War\, as one biographer identified him\, conquered much of Europe before his ultimate downfall\, and is often counted with Alexander the Great and Caesar as one of the greatest military minds in human history.  This talk will discuss the personality behind the historical figure and examine the methods that enabled him to achieve what he did. \n  \n\n  \nDr. Jonathan Abel is an Associate Professor of Military History at the US Army Command and General Staff College\, where he teaches courses on French history as well as Greece and Rome and wargaming.  He received his PhD from the Military History Center at the University of North Texas in 2014\, and he is the author of several works on the eighteenth-century French army. \nThe Ft. Leavenworth Series is an annual roster of lectures focusing on significant historical events\, usually with an emphasis on military history. Each lecture is presented by faculty from the United States Army Command and General Staff College in Ft. Leavenworth\, Kansas. Established by General William Tecumseh Sherman in 1881\, the CGSC is the graduate college for U.S. Army and sister service officers. The esteemed faculty and guests of the CGSC provide unique and captivating insights into the history of military conflict from the ancient to the modern ages at the Dole Institute of Politics. \n  \n\n  \nThe opinions expressed herein are those of the individual and do not necessarily represent the views of the U.S. Army Command and General Staff College or any other governmental agency.
