Filmed on location throughout the world, this series looks at three individuals widely considered to be military “greats”: Caesar, Napoleon and Grant. Leading experts including David Chandler talk about the motivation that lay behind the achievements of each commander. 3D computer animation is used to illustrate each commander’s skills.Julius Caesar
Julius Caesar, a scheming politician, used military power to dominate Rome. Massively in debt, he led his armies through a decade of conquest in a bid for wealth, glory and power. In the process he conquered Gaul and precipitated the downfall of the Celts. At the battle of Alesia he brilliantly used technological supremacy and tactical cunning against a force who outnumbered him more than 5 to 1. Napoleon
Napoleon Bonaparte was a political and military genius who exploited the turmoil of revolution to become Emperor of France. He then used his command skills to conquer Europe. This programme focuses on the Battle of Austerlitz, a spectacular victory against Austria and Russia, which fully justifies his reputation as the greatest modern commander. Ulysses S. Grant
At the beginning of the Civil War, Ulysses S. Grant worked in a store. Within four years he was commanding the Union Armies and within eight, he was President of the United States. The Battle of the Wilderness was an indecisive, bloody tangle in a dense forest. Though it ended in a tactical stalemate, it was a vital strategic victory - one which led to the defeat of the Confederacy.
