The Great Commanders - E02 Julius Ceasar - The Battle of Alesia
Before his state-sanctioned murder, the statesman, general and dictator had conquered half the known world and still found time for a dalliance with Cleopatra.

Julius Caesar led his armies through a decade of conquest in a bid for wealth, power and glory, absorbing Gaul and its Celtic civilisation into the Roman Empire.

At the Battle of Alesia, he exploited Roman technology on a grand scale to defeat an army which outnumbered him almost five to one.

The Great Commanders - E04 Napoleon Bonaparte - The Battle of Austerlitz
We examine the life and achievements of Napoleon Bonaparte, investigating the nature and style of his leadership, his overall strategy and his formidable military skills.

Napoleon was a ruthless master of war whose daunting military talent led him not only to dominate Europe for twenty years but to change it forever. In 1805, he fought perhaps the greatest campaign that ended on the fields of the small Austrian town of Austerlitz. Outnumbered by a combined Austro-Russian army, Napoleon's only hope lay in luring his enemies into a deadly trap.
