Dr. Caleb Karges discusses military strategy with alumnus Sam Fluegge and current student Jacob Lange. Their focus is Antoine-Henri Jomini, The Art of War and the Napoleonic wars. Frequent mention is made to the ideas of Carl von Clausewitz. The History Suite podcast is being revived and incorporated as a recurring feature of Cui Bono Cast and will involve faculty and students from Concordia’s History and Political Thought department.
Napoleon was the measure of all things. Napoleon, I mean, okay he had some losses but if you look at the amount of wins he had, the guy had an awesome win record, if you think about it.
