Air date: Nov 19, 2017

We are continuing our documentary series on the Napoleonic Wars and this time we are covering the land portion of the War of third Coalition (1805) in which Napoleon faced the forces of Britain, Russia, Austria and Naples. This video depicts the overall campaign and the battles of Ulm and Austerlitz, both of which are considered some of the finest in the career of the French Emperor. The strategic and tactical moves made during these battles are still learned in the military schools and rightly so - Napoleon Bonapart proved that he was the best general of his time.
