Product Description:
PART FOUR, Horatio Nelson, The Battle of Trafalgar, 1805: By 1805 Napoleon was master of Europe, with only Britain opposing him. Determined to destroy the British Navy, a combined Franco-Spanish fleet was assembled, and battle was joined at Trafalgar. By a revolutionary naval tactic of 'cutting the line' Nelson destroyed 22 out of 33 enemy ships, while losing none of his own. Nelson's overwhelming victory prevented a French invasion of Britain and guaranteed British naval dominance for the 19th Century.
PART FIVE, Ulysses S. Grant, The Battle of the Wilderness, 1864: Confederate General Robert E. Lee was determined to fight Ulysses S. Grant's larger Union Army in the Spotsylvania wilderness. Fighting in the tangled woods and close quarters would give Lee's outnumbered force better odds. Although Lee inflicted heavier casualties on Grant, strategically the Battle of the Wilderness benefited the Union; Grant knew that the Union could absorb heavier casualties, whereas the Confederacy could not, and would not be able to sustain the war against the North.
PART SIX, Georgi Zhukov, The Battle of Berlin, 1945: By April 1945, the heart of Nazi Germany was now within the sights of the Red Army. Hitler's refusal to surrender had made seizing the city both a military and a political imperative. But Joseph Stalin also foresaw that possession of Berlin would have long-term strategic consequences for post-war Europe. Taking a city is one of the most difficult military objectives, but the Red Army was willing to pay heavily to finally seize the capital of the Third Reich.
THE GREAT COMMANDERS SERIES: Every epoch produces a general of exceptional brilliance. Six of the most pivotal battles in history are recreated and analyzed by military historian David Chandler using contemporary sources, 3D animation, re-enactment and expert commentary. Other Commanders examined in this series include Alexander the Great, Julius Caesar and Napoleon Bonaparte.
