What made Napoleon's armies special?

Lecture given by Donald M.G. Sutherland.
In these lectures, Professor Donald M.G. Sutherland explores the life and times of Napoleon, one of history's most brilliant strategic thinkers. But despite his inarguable brilliance, Napoleon has also been denounced as unscrupulously ambitious and as alone responsible for the wars that bear his name. Sutherland imparts a fuller understanding of this polarizing figure and shows how Napoleon fit into the sweep of history--and how he helped to define it.
