some european historians who deal with napoleonic warfare had argued that you rarely see in napoleonic warfare, the field artillery coming close to the enemy and pounding them at close range. it was not typical of the tactics to use artillery like that. i wonder if we are suffering from a lack of perspective, in terms of how the civil war fits into the longer sweep of how artillery is used on the battlefield and i think the same , is relevant for understanding the cavalry role. i'm not sure it was effective in attacking well-placed infantry. i think more times than not, when the calvary attacked infantryman in good position, they were trumped more often than not, during the napoleonic wars. and if that is the case, the -- what happened in the civil war is not terribly revolutionary or different. there needs to be more reason for me to be more confident about that. yes? >> thank you. >> [inaudible] when did trench warfare become a major factor? earl: that is true. the widespread and deep use of trenches is a huge factor of the atlantic campaign of 1864. is the huge factor in the overlan

he writes about the will of history which is you can say this is a random accident that napoleon .-full-stop one day and felt like he could invade russia. okay. if a russian peasant wakes up and says i want to invade france today, it doesn't matter. what you are talking about is so many hundreds of thousands of people that have to make these decisions into the amount to something big that we are talking about big stuff and if you believe god didn't just make the watch and said the watch i think it represents something in the will of history if you will but that timetable has been written. the empire was so corrupt it you could say that corruption became worse after the republic and empire. the other aspect, they didn't believe in one controlling force in the universe which seems to me is one of the differences between our point of view in the united states and the plaintiff view of ancient civilizations like the persian civilization that you mentioned that one of the things you will see in the book that will amaze you with even the founding fathers and great american leaders that w

there could be a period of uncertainty ahead, as our economics editor, kamal ahmed reports it was napoleonus a nation of shopkeepers, and the government will be pleased today the uk economy is still one based on consumers and the high street. britain's services sector, 80% of the economy, was the reason for the positive growth figures. for shoppers in reading, it was good business as usual. a lot of people thought that the referendum and the vote to leave the eu would mean consumers might be nervous, "what does the future hold?" and would stop spending. did you find that was true? no, i haven't seen any difference personally. i think consumer spending will maintain itself and, long—term, i think we are in for a good ride. i think we are in a terribly unstable situation, i really do. we have got nothing that is filling us with confidence. instability, lack of confidence. they drove a myriad of warnings before the referendum. there would be a hit to the value of people's homes, at least 10%, and up to 18%. material slowdown in growth, notable increase in inflation. higher prices, less growth

napoleon believed moral factors are more were more important than material factors by a ratio of three to one. he also believed spiritual factors and war were more important. won" there allies is a whole chapter. expect thermally spiritual leaders like the pope in a spirited way. it was not so easy for figures like pope pius the 12th, who was the pope during the bloodiest years of the bloodiest century in human history. he was elected under the shadow of the swastika in march 1930 nine. and basically on the day of his 15thation, on march 12 and 1939, in that range, killer occupied czechoslovakia, which more or less made war on europe inevitable. during the war and for a generation after the war, he was generally considered to have done a pretty good job under really messy circumstances, keeping the vatican neutral, and a moral trying to be spokesman in a general way for what was going on. it really was not until the 1960's that people started questioning this view. previously prominent juice like out -- prominent jews like outfit einstein and goldeneye meyer sang his praises. a denunci

how was it napoleon by apart one of the biggest appetites' for gobbling up plant in human history all the session gives away a huge tract of land that is the size of 15 states for the price of a song we did not even ask for it. he says to one new orleans? the whole kit and caboodle bill louisiana purchase about 1 penny in baker. horatio gates said there is an error of contentment to which and alexander hamilton he was not religious and civil unquestionably this is providence the same that guided us so firmly during the revolution that made this possible and that seems to me to be the big difference that you don't see that with one but the great vision or the odyssey or the iliad not the idea of one god to with is the god of all. >> i think it is also providential that america had the founding geniuses like hamilton and others to four related almost the perfect constitution but it works better than any other. so i have an acquaintance who is a middle school teacher who made a comment after the election that they kicked out of the elites the people who stayed awake in civics class and i

i have also written a book on napoleon, by the way. [laughter] >> about 15 years ago, a monumental book of writings of george marshall. there was an extensive introduction on that and i read part of it. in that book, which is his greatest compilation, is there any evidence in regard to your theory about -- >> i have all six volumes. all of the biography that he wrote, several volumes he wrote on marshall. i have found absolutely no evidence whatsoever to back up my theory. i promise you i would have mentioned it. [laughter] >> thank you for a wonderful talk. why did eisenhower abandon his supporter when he got into a position of power? >> politics is a filthy trade. it now seems pretty astonishing quite how successful this --alling redbaiting actually, right now, it is not so surprising, come to think of it. nonetheless, politics then and now was a dirty business and it was the lowest point in the political career of otherwise a very great man. for my money. i look forward to talking to you about dwight eisenhower in january. but yes,

us it that napoleon gives wise this huge tract of line, and for a song. america didn't even ask for it elm wasn't wayed buy this little town of new orleans which had five thousand people in it.. napoleon says how about the whole kit and caboodle. the whole louisiana purchase. at the price of a penny an acre. horatio gates, their hero of saratoga when he heard the news slade an air of enchantment to it. and alexander hamilton, he wasn't such a holy joe, religious guy particularly. he said, unquestion my, this is providence. he says the same providence that guided us so firmly during the revolution, that made this purchase possible. and that would be the big difference, is you don't really see that in terms of one script. what you see this greek vision -- you read in odyssey or illat iy ad of the gods fighting beginnings each other rather than the galled of all and of all time. >> i want to time tie my question to your topic. them it's providential that america has founding genius in hamilton and madison and others who form lated an almost perfect constitut

tolstoy rights based on the idea, you can say all of this is a random accident, napoleon woke up one day and felt like invading russia which happens in war and peace, if some russian peasants wakes up and says i want to invade france it doesn't matter. you are talking about so many hundreds of thousands, millions of people left to make individual decisions and they all amount to something very big. we are talking about big stuff. if you believe that god didn't just make the watch and set the watch, let it unspool, if you don't believe god is directly involved, things in human history represent something of the will of god, will of history if you will but clearly that timetable has been heightened. the roman empire was so cool that is so cool in so many ways, that corruption became worse after the end of the roman republic and beginning of the empire. i think the other aspect is they were pagans, they did not believe in one controlling force in the universe which it seems to me is one of the big differences between our point of view in the united states and the point of view of ancien

napoleon didn't make the scene, but there was a josephine there was some woman named alexis in a sharkt. >> it was a dolphin. >> it was a shark suit. she thought it was funny. it ran through the whole episode. it was so stupid. we can't wait to get her out of here. anyway, the women a note, a couple, carynn from miami. she stole the first kiss with nick there. i think you could say she was quite aggressive in her approach. but she says she's there for we'll see what happens. got a long way to go. if the previews are anything, carynn is going to be around for a while. and then there's liz. it's fair to say liz and nick have a history together. they know each other. they were at a wedding, drank a little too much booze, wound up spending the night. woops. >> she was curious to see whether he would remember. she didn't get much of a reaction. >> nick claimed that he remembered her, and then he was a little off put, let's say, by their conversation. that sort of got weird. ironically enough, liz got the last rose. so that was a shock. anyway, some note keeping here. rachel an attorney from

good morning, napoleon. democrat's line. caller: good morning. is we gotike to say to wait and not give president trump so much credit about what he is doing. until he gets his business -- which hefar as recognized. -- l we get that straight [indiscernible] fervor inhere equal the u.k., or concern for admittance of muslims to the u.k.? guest: certainly on the right there is. immigration was one of the day talking points around the brisket --, the brexit referendum. there is a cultural difference in the u.k. the muslim population in the u.k. mix of 4.5%. there are 2 million muslims living in the u.k.. that is lower in france and germany. host: but a high percentage in the u.s.? guest: that is correct. the anti-immigration debate was prompted by the freedom of movement in the european union, and concerns about polish workers and eastern europeans coming to take british jobs. perhaps more in line with american concerns over mexico and central americans taking american jobs. but really, it has never been so acute, this sense that it was anti-muslim,

many were blasted out by the brits in napoleonic times. during world war ii, britain drilled 30 more miles of tunnels. the 100-ton gun is one of many cannon that both protected gibraltar and controlled shipping in the strait. a cable car whisks visitors from downtown to the rock's 14,000-foot summit. from the top of the rock, spain's costa del sol arcs eastward, and 15 miles across the hazy strait of gibraltar, the shores of morocco beckon. these cliffs and those over in africa created what ancient societies in the mediterranean world called the pillars of hercules. for centuries, they were the foreboding gateway to the unknown. descending the rock, whether you like it or not, you'll meet the famous apes of gibraltar. 200 of these mischief-makers entertain tourists. and with all the visitors, they're bold, and they get their way. yeah? you can have it. you can -- you can -- you can -- here on the rock of gibraltar, the locals are very friendly, but give them your apples. legend has it that as long as these apes are here, the british will s

perhaps the most remarkable return of 2016 was of napoleon, abel gance‘s silent masterpiece from 1927 restoration work, and what a glorious sight it was to see. as the end of the year rolled around, star wars is back in our cinemas in the shape of rogue one, a stand—alone anthology instalment set shortly before the events of the 1977 original. like its iconic predecessor, rogue one relies heavily on british talent, from director gareth edwards to star felicityjones, to the army of technicians at elstree studios where much of the film is shot. what will you become? worth noting too that another of the year's runaway hits, bridgetjones‘s baby, was also a home—grown success story, with welsh director sharon maguire helming the third series instalment to record—breaking box office success. maintaining good relationship with ex. how are you? very well, thanks. how are you? i'm fine. glass of wine. i'll have a whisky, please. big glass. double. and my love life is showing signs of improvement. may i? it fits! aside from one tiny development... i'm pregnant? surprise! everything is completel

it was napoleon who famously and sarcastically called us a nation of shopkeepers, and the governmenters and the high street. britain's services sector, 80% of the economy, was the reason for the positive growth figures. for shoppers in reading, it was good business as usual. a lot of people thought that the referendum and the vote to leave the eu would mean consumers might be nervous, "what does the future hold? and would stop spending. did you find that was true? no, i haven't seen any difference personally. i think consumer spending will maintain itself and, long—term, i think we are in for a good ride. i think we are in a terribly unstable situation, i really do. we have got nothing that is filling us with confidence. instability, lack of confidence. they drove a myriad of warnings before the referendum. there would be a hit to the value of people's homes, at least 10%, and up to 18%. material slowdown in growth, notable increase in inflation. higher prices, less growth means less jobs, so higher unemployment. we are indeed a nation of shoppers and, frankly, those gloomy predictio

yes, famously and rather sarcastically, it was napoleon that called britain a nation of shopkeepers.hilip hammond is probably pretty glad that we are a nation of consumers. it has been the services sector of the uk economy, 80% of the uk economy, that has really lifted those growth figures. retail, restaurants and travel agents have all been contributing to those growth figures. as you say, there were lots of gloomy forecasts about what would happen to the economy if we voted to leave the european union, which of course we did. i kicked off by asking the chancellor here in reading whether this was a pain cancelled or delayed. of course, we recognise that as we go into this period of negotiation with the european union and as we absorb the impacts of the depreciation of stirling last year, there will be more uncertainty ahead during the course of this year. but the fact the economy is so robust and resilient going in should give us and resilient going in should give us great cause for optimism about britain's future. of course, brexit and our negotiations for leaving the european unio

you have not written a book about napoleon. >> that's true. >> why have you stayed away from the subject matter and hoped in on people that -- honed in on people that none of was would imagine to read about. >> there's no need for that story. the sense of obligation. there's going to be 100 books about donald trump or about -- the closest i did a little piece about obama. >> for the magazine. >> the magazine piece. but the -- and i think that's the big thing, who needs me for that.ed lots of people can do those things. the finding the meaningful story nobody realizes is meaningful is a trick, and seeing the meaning in and it waking the world up to it is it my role. so everybody is already linked to the -- it's hard to get excited about it. my career started, i have a friend who is seven or eight years ahead of me named wall tar isaacston, and former editor of "time magazine" and has written fine pieces steve jobs and henry kissinger and ice einstein. she is a wonderful writer, when i was a child the most successful person anybody now. went to harvard and then a rhodes scholar. and he cam
