Credit Hours: 3

A survey of the Napoleonic Wars, including those of the French Revolution, from a distinctly military perspective. Although the causes, ideologies, and mentalities of the revolutionary era will be explored, the class will emphasize the study of the conduct of war from the strategic, operational, and tactical perspectives with the goal of understanding how these wars, and Napoleon himself, shaped the future conduct of warfare. Attention will also be devoted to logistics and the experience of war among the soldiery of the period.
