There will be no "homework" for this One-Time class. However if the student is keen on the subject than the ONLY book needed is David Chandler's Campaigns of Napoleon. This is the absolute best written, most comprehensive work on Napoleon's military career - written by one of the greatest military historians.Experiencia de clase

Carl von Clausewitz in his work On War, called Napoleon "The god of war" due to his ability to manipulate time and space relative to his opponents, allowing him to march further and faster, consolidate on the battlefield and bring about a decisive tactical victory. As with all geniuses, Napoleon's brand of brilliance was a result of many environmental and personal factors. This One-Time class is dedicated to unveiling the nature of military genius through the career of Napoleon Bonaparte. The class will focus upon Napoleon's military decision-making with biographical information included when relevant. Selected campaigns and battles will be used as exemplars of his military genius, however due to time constraints not all battles will be discussed. The class will begin with a definition of military genius as a basis of understanding prior to delving into Napoleon's unique brand of genius as made manifest through his early military career. Throughout the class important strategic and tactical principles will be presented as exemplified by Napoleon on the battlefield. The Ulm-Austerlitz Campaign (1805) will be used as a case study since this operation best represents his mastery of the art of war. The class will conclude with an overview of Napoleon's impact on military thought in the 19th and 20th centuries through the works of Clausewitz and Jomini. Students interested in Military History will greatly benefit from this class due to its emphasis upon defining and exemplifying the nature of military genius as well as the use of the Principles of War and other strategic concepts introduced during the class.

Over the past 30 years I have taught I.G.C.S.E, A-Level, I.B., and A.P. History throughout the Atlantic region in both private and public school settings. During that time I have instructed students in a variety of rigorous exam subjects . I am a strong advocate of "immersion education" (historic setting RPG) in the Social Studies classroom. My passion is Military History, which I have been enthusiastically studying my entire life. My present RPG classes involve a number of embedded lessons learned (empathy, teamwork, problem solving, decision-making, etc.) through the Three Pillars of Adventure: Exploration, Role-playing, and Fantasy Combat. My Battles & Generals classes are akin to an "On-Going, interactive discussion-based documentary" as one student put it not too long ago....and that seems about right.
