The Battle of Eylau 1807: A Napoleonic Enigma

17 December 2022 @ 09:00 - 18 December 2022 @ 15:00

It is an honour and privilege to welcome Professor Alexander Mikaberidze as our speaker for an event in which we study the epic Napoleonic battle in the snow at Eylau in 1807. 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), “The Berezina 1812” published by Osprey, a trilogy on Napoleon’s invasion of Russia and the very recent “Kutuzov: A Life in War and Peace”, (Oxford, 2022). He is shortly to publish “Confronting Napoleon, Volume 1, Pultusk to Eylau”, an edited translation of the memoir of Levin von Bennigsen, which will be followed by a further work on the battle of Friedland. The talk will be held at 2 pm on 17 December 2022 at 24 Kingfisher Court, Newbury RG14 5SJ and will be accompanied by an exhibition and simulation as with all other NHSA events. Please contact Philip Marshall on 07946 041733 if you would like to attend.
