Strategy & Tactics Magazine #350: Reves de Gloire 1815
Rêves de Gloire (Dreams of Glory): Napoleon vs. the Coalitions From 1805 to 1815, Napoleon led France in wars against five coalitions of European powers. French dominance until near the end of those years was a result of his operational and tactical genius. At the higher level of strategy, however, he displayed an increasing degree of narcissistic wilfulness that flew in the face of good planning and ultimately led to his and France’s defeat.
Additional feature articles:
The Rise & Fall of Teotihuacán The recent deciphering of Mayan glyphs has revealed a previously unknown war of conquest was unleashed against them by the central-Mexico city-state of Teotihuacán in AD 378. That onslaught brought with it what amounted to a Mesoamerican revolution in military affairs, in that it was based on mass killing on the battlefield rather than on the ritual sacrifice of captives.
The Irish Civil War: 1922–23 The Irish War of Independence ended in a truce followed by a treaty settlement. Fissures among the Irish that had remained hidden during the war emerged. On 27 June 1922, that division erupted into civil war between those who wanted to accept the compromise peace with London and those wanting to fight until all Ireland was under Dublin’s control. The resultant fighting witnessed the emergence of several tactical and operational developments that presaged those common in World War II and the counter-insurgency campaigns that followed.
Red Dragon / Green Crescent: Potential War in the Pacific & Indian Oceans One of the greatest potential flashpoints for war today stretches along the southern periphery of the Eurasian landmass, from the Persian Gulf to the Sea of Japan. Great power competition has come to the forefront across that vast region. Here is our analysis of its potential to spark World War III.
