later on, he became napoleon's chief of staff. as a logistical genius, he was responsible for many of napoleon's victories. napoleon used to issue the battle plan. he would translate that into an action plan. he made a contribution to french history, military success and so on. i think he was mentioned in rochambeau's memoir. could you please comment on that? >> thank you so much for that. it may well be that you know more about this individual than i do. it sounds like this is somebody who's life you have studied. i look forward to hearing more about what you know about this person's trajectory. he constitutes, indeed, one of the tactical geniuses and one of these officers whose career spanned ap or mac -- spanned a period that seemed unlikely in some way. how could you be a revolutionary serving in the american revolution and then be an officer serving a dictatorship? it's very interesting about the careers of these military men. to think about who was able to survive the guillotine, who survived the french revolution, what were

he combated napoleon's unabashed racism, to no avail. reading the memoirs by french officers in light of the military enlightenment also allows us to have a more nuanced and complete picture of the foreignness and clumsiness of the earliest days of french and american allegiance. this image, which you may have seen on the website, advertising this talk, is a marvelous example. i will give you a closer view. here we have a stone inscription, america and the seas, we thank you for their freedom. up here we have the gallic rooster and the fleur-de-lis. then we have the best of louis the 16th -- bust of louis xvi. washington is spelled "wagging ston" on this document.if you think this is an outlier, there are documents where washington's name is spelled waggingston. maybe it's the french pronunciation. we have this very interesting figure right here, subduing england, which is represented by the lion in the corner. he is quite pale and androgynous with long flowing light brown hair and is donning not just the expected icons of liberty, but a

my last thought for you tonight about character comes from napoleon. i love napoleon because short people have to stick together at all times.

by order of napoleon the 3rd baron haussmann cut avenues and boulevards through the city. my old paris had had its day. what would become of me in this new city. someone would have to plead my case if construction were to resume. but. until now my architects had skillfully navigated the changes and government but they were not in favor under the empire. how good our ministry is to to weathervane. always on the side of power from brasserie the shop or at least do we really have a choice i. would offer to stop here. to charm the emperor. transform himself into a theater decorator. brocades gilding velvet canopy his heavy wall hanging as. the architect proposed to refer me to host major imperial ceremonies. his drawings hit the bull's eye. napoleon the 3rd and empress eugenie became infatuated with his meal gothic visions the resumption of work became an affair of state and the money that had been so sorely lacking would no longer be a problem. it is the year 853 and my architects now have carte blanche. listening only to themselves merely do you can last you will enter villa

than to democratic hopeful joe biden one of the things i would point to is the famous quote from napoleon bonaparte never interfere with your enemy when he's in the process of destroying him so that might sound a little bit calculating but in political terms president trump is doing a great deal of damage to his own reputation service members while president trump supporters still stand by his side the projected number of casualties could become a problem for the occupant of the white house. and for more now i'm joined by john who dacke he is deputy director of the center for effective public management at the brookings institution he is also an author and he has researched extensively into u.s. presidential power john is in washington d.c. tonight john it's good to have you on the day u.s. president drunk tweeted today urging people in wisconsin to go out and vote in this primary how does president trump stand to benefit from the wisconsin presidential primary. it's hard to see a path by which president trump benefits from the wisconsin primary i think it puts into contrast what a crisis

in my last thought for you tonight, about character, comess from napoleon.i love coding napoleon because short people have to stick together all times. [laughter] if you remember nothing else from her evening together in this marvelous, marvelous library, the center of intellectual thought, which proves every day the biggest questions of character if you remember nothing else to member this fromno napoleon. he said a leader is a dealer in hope. a leader is a dealer in hope. everything else i've talked about tonight devolves on the inner wyatt sense of self-confidence that inspires others with hope. not with fear. but with hope. the leader is a dealer in hope, that is the heart of character, thank you very character, thank you very [applause] admiral thank you. we do have time for a few quick questions, were tight on time, he flew in from vietnam this morning and he's flying his symbol this evening. and our first question will come from the many cadets with this from troy high school navy the rotc what is your question sir? my question would be what would you

his brother brought back an egyptian statue from the napoleonic wars and smithson analyzed the ancient colors that were on it. he even tried to understand when a gnat was most on -- mushed on a piece of paper and it turned green, he was trying to understand that green color. he felt for us to understand the natural world, we needed to study everything and we needed to share what we learned with each other. he chided his fellow scientists for not sharing absolutely everything, even little improvements to your apparatus. he really took this to heart. this was one of his 27 papers which is an improved method of making coffee. but in one of his last papers, he wrote something that i thought was particularly lovely, laying out his philosophy that it has been his knowledge that man has found his greatness and his happiness. and so, i like to think that smithson would be quite pleased to see that the smithsonian in the last week has just released -- i don't know if you saw the news -- this nearly 3 million images into the public domain under a creative common hero license, which means you all

than to democratic hopeful joe biden one of the things i would point to is the famous quote from napoleon bonaparte never interfere with your enemy when he's in the process of destroying him so that might sound a little bit calculating but in political terms president trump is doing a great deal of damage to his own reputation service members while president trump supporters still stand by his side the projected number of casualties could become a problem for the occupant of the white house. now all of the votes as went to the polls on tuesday in the key east swing state of wisconsin to tell us more about what happened that. right well 1st so we it's important to mention that 15 us states have already postponed their elections due to the corona pandemic and wisconsin is the only one that moved forward holding this election this primary election today and before there was a fierce battle between republicans and democrats in the state about whether to hold that election now or not and the state governor who's a democrat wanted to postpone it then the republican dominated congress state cong

started out known as the corsigans interesting link again to napoleon if you know the napoleonic history. and it says on the caps liberty or death. beautiful bright green photographs and as you can see they have been here to the dey mansion from their facebook page. also have been as you can seal from the center photo the grange, hamilton's estate in upper manhattan. where did action ter hamilton train his hearts of oak militia unit? in the church-yard of st. paul's chapel on broadway. i don't know how you do that without multiple tripping hazards and headstones. that church has been there plenty of time. there were plenty of headstones made of stone and wood in the 1770s. that's where they trained. if you've not been there, i encourage you do. it's the sight of fallen brigadier general richard montgomery who was killed, unfortunately, way ahead of his time for death in the attack on quebec city and ben franklin felt so guilty about that that he wanted to have this elaborate memorial put up for him there so you can see that in the front of the church. >> now, was this the first meeting o

lafayette the most famous of the beginning so during the second empire napoleons nephew in the middle of the 19th century as an authoritarian state as one of the liberals named edward is very interested and favors the union side and interested in emancipation and after the passage of the 13th amendment wouldn't it be great for france to commemorate emancipation of a colossal statue and where he floats this idea one of his guests is a young sculptor learning his trade in france he is interested in monumental sculpture he goes to egypt to the monuments of the ancient world are still standing he has some very interesting theoretical things how you should do this you don't want too many details don't distract the eye it should be as simple as a sketch. these to get together when france becomes a republic in 1870 republicanism is now the official position of the french nation they offer the gift to the united states. but they will not pay for the pedestal. they built the statue we have to come up with the money for the pedestal. this takes a long time. one of the projects to raise money is

have is thething we paris, aiomphe in monument to napoleon and his military victories, where he also had figures such as this. in this case it is peace in a triumphal chariot. he could see the personification of peace, the partially nude thele figure ground writing four horses and golden victory figures to eastside. this is what mills had in mind for george washington. off, -- soe green much like the other sculptors, they were thinking of an iconography figure to transpose him from the everyday, from a general, to a superhuman, almost godlike figure. so when construction had been halted on the washington monument for about 20 years in the 1860's and 70's, when construction was started up , who reallys casey loved modern inventions, elevators, electric lights, decided no, no, we are not going to put that temple at the bottom. he wanted the washington monument to stay a simple obelisk that would represent the modality of them -- the madera of america,dernity moving forward. he saw it as a model of american ingenuity. it was his decision to not create the monument that mills envisioned.

here block has portrayed him as having a napoleon complex when in reality nasa was pulling back from extremism realizing he did not have the financial wherewithal to continue fighting the israelis and trying to meet his pan arab agenda. >> this is a case where perhaps history has come down more on the side of naser then her block. charles schultz and herb block were good friends. they often did little things to honor one another. mr. schultz not so much in his peanuts cartoons. he was a big fan of herb block personally. but here we have the time honored character of snooty she newbie cursing communism and communists in general. he represents bomb happy generals and that's another sort of vietnam cartoon. american generals wishing they could bomb more in vietnam and win the war. one of the things i like to do is select five cartoons that relate to a series of events or a particular event in 1967. something that stands out in mr. blocks work. for me what stood out in 1967 was how important it was to look out for consumers. whether they were people purchasing automobiles, people smoking

, ok, he reminded them and urged them to become partisans, to rise up like the russians did when napoleon invaded russia, referencing back to the history of russia. >> this war is not an ordinary war. it is the war of the entire russian people. not only to eliminate the danger hanging over our heads, but to aid all people, groaning under the yoke of fascism. >> when he said that, he probably didn't really mean it, because for the first year, the only partisans that were allowed in the partisan movement were either red army soldiers who were caught behind the lines or communist party members. in many cases, that wasn't a bad deal, because you weren't getting a lot of other volunteers, especially in places like the ukraine, which were behind the lines. because the ukrainians were initially, when the germans first invaded the ukraine, the ukrainians welcomed them. thinking, like in world war i, when the germans came into ukraine, and made them an independent nation, that they would again be an independent nation. i think after about a year they began to realize that they had two devils, stal

a native leader who had hundreds of enslaved persons, and his mansion was based on one by napoleon and france. this is something the museum is taking on to show the complexity of some of this history. the cotton kingdom's success of building it came at an extraordinarily high cost. first of all the enslavement of millions of human beings. the dispossession of native americans. even that wealth, even accessibility on the country. that enslaved labor results in the civil war. , the worst war in american history. the end result of this is something that the country is still coming to terms with. there is an argument to say that indian removal was the most significant event between the american revolution and the civil war. so when american indians arrived in indian territory it's a different landscape, a different environment, different situation. i think people from the 1830's would be really surprised if they understood 21st-century come of the same indian nations would indians would reconstitute themselves. they still have a sovereign status. it was in oklahoma -- i was in oklahoma and

and most napoleon's were donated to the city of charlottesville by the united states government you could put on either side of the confederate monument it's a perfect way to talk with and again i will put on my pet the logical hat here was and how the landscapes can be used to learn about memory. you have the lost cause tradition of the war will. the old sense was that there were no's black man who fought for the united states, when another's have announced have work to identify more than 250 of them 2050. black men fought for united states. in the civil war. put on uniforms at fought for united states. but i think it would be very illuminating, to have a statue to those blackmon a few yards from the statue of robert e. lee to remind people that history is not a static thing and in fact history gives way to different memory traditions and here's one of them, and here we are whatever you want to say in 2020 and here the men who fought in these units from here we are. this is what we're looking at that is there i don't think most americans understand the difference between history an

napoleon won -- and lost... and the wright brothers flew. >> he built the log and lived in it for seven years. >> right there in the forest -- until word gets out of the old fella living in a log. >> people would come and knock on the door and say, "what's in there?" so he used to take the log to schools. >> just load it on a trailer. presto -- a mobile home. in the late 1950s, james sr. passes away, leaving his only son, world war ii vet and traveling salesman james elwin allen, his unusual home. so the son of a lumberjack decides to take it cross-country, maybe make a buck while sharing his strange inheritance with the world. he sets off for parts unknown. his travels eventually lead him to canada and a rodeo show called the calgary stampede. there he meets 18-year-old iris keiver. they're both smitten and soon get married. what do you think your mother thought about her husband driving around the country with a log house? >> i think it must've been very intriguing because my mother married my father, and that

civil suits are seeking compensation for his alleged failure to protect children from pedophiles or napoleon now our religion and ethics correspondent martin jacques he joins me from berlin tonight going to need to you martin you know when the cardinal when he was going when he was convicted and sentenced to prison many in australia and some in the catholic church said this would give closure especially to perils victims alleged victims and their families what does the high court's decision today do. well i mean it's certainly overturn that whole and he'd basically. states that the burden of proof that was on docu series had not been met so what high court so there was a very serious possibility that in unison person would be committed to this actually what the what the what the verdict says and for that reese and wright recently dowd still exist there for the conviction was thrown out so that they overturned the lower court's decisions and what me through this a little bit they were saying that the jury the court had made a mistake correct what they actually said was very specifically that

it will be in an achievement the size of which those of alexander and napoleon will be a little thing. to that purpose they are offering their youth and their blood. to that purpose who and others regretting we cannot stand beside them, dedicate the remainder's of our lives. americans saw these and in about april of 1943 there was a war bomb drive. they are offering their these images, having been rejected initially, became and braced by the federal war bond drive. the images were adopted as the symbols for the second bond drive. the concept was americans would invest, pay money for a bond that wouldn't mature in a number of years. it was $18 and in 10 years the bond would pay back 25. the idea was they needed the nations to all come together quickly to raise the funds from munitions and to equip the nation's soldiers appropriately. >> hollywood's most famous movie stars leave the film capital to help the government sell war bonds. ronald coleman, patty lamarr, all part of a contingent of 50's screen celebrities giving their talents to aid the national war effort. >> in the second war
