As part of the NHSA week of talks, exhibitions and tabletop simulations in which we study the momentous campaign of 1812 – the invasion of Russia by the largest army Napoleon ever commanded, we are once again honoured and privileged to welcome Professor Alexander Mikaberidze as one of our speakers.  Alexander Mikaberidze is Professor of History and the Ruth Herring Noel Endowed Chair at Louisiana State University Shreveport. He is an internationally renowned historian of the Napoleonic Wars having been the author and editor of over 20 books, including the critically acclaimed “The Napoleonic Wars: A Global History” (Oxford, 2020). He has published extensively on the 1812 campaign and has a particular interest in the Russian commanders with his very recent work including “Kutuzov: A Life in War and Peace”, (Oxford, 2022).  The talk will be held at 2 pm on Thursday 5 October at 24 Kingfisher Court, Newbury RG14 5SJ .
