Rêves de Gloire (Dreams of Glory): Napoleon vs. the Coalitions From 1805 to 1815, Napoleon led France in wars against five coalitions of European powers. French dominance until near the end of those years was a result of his operational and tactical genius. At the higher level of strategy, however, he displayed an increasing degree of narcissistic wilfulness that flew in the face of good planning and ultimately led to his and France’s defeat.

The Siege of Jerusalem: AD 70 In 63 BC Judea became a client state of Rome, ruled for them by kings from the native Herodian dynasty. Starting in AD 6, the Romans took more direct control, converting Judea into a province in which prefects and procurators appointed by the emperor had final authority. That set in motion the events resulting in the Judean revolt, and within it one of the greatest sieges of all times. Feature articles including: The Battle of Lake Okeechobee: 25 December 1837, The ‘Harlem Hellfighters’ Infantry Regiment, The Berlin Airlift

Return to Europe: Sicily & Italy, July—November 1943 In January 1943 Anglo-Allied leaders met in Casablanca to map the next act in the war on Germany. The invasion of Sicily that July was a logical follow-up to Tunisia, but crossing to mainland Italy did not appear necessary. Even so, that occurred due to a combination of circumstance and the lack of an alternative.
