Program Description

Event Details

Our friends at the Kemmerer Library (Harding Township) are sharing this two-part program with our patrons.  Each part requires separate registration

This is Part 1 of the series.  (Part 2 is on May 15.)

How was it possible for a son of a minor noble family from Corsica to become the Emperor of the French?  This lecture aims to explain the rise of one of the most famous figures in Western, if not world, civilization.  Napoleon’s intellectual, civic, governmental, and military achievements will be weighed in the context of the movement that birthed him – the French Revolution.

He currently serves as a professor at both William Paterson University and the County College of Morris, specializing in ancient and medieval history.
