This seminar series looks at factors other than power that can affect the outcome of military campaigns. The speakers will explore how positive traits such as brilliance, intuition and willpower, as well as less flattering characteristics such as incompetence, poor judgement and cowardice may have affected the ultimate results.
Series comprises 8 seminar sessions: 25 October and 29 November 2006, 31 January, 28 February, 28 March, 25 April and 30 May 2007
