Us Army Command And General Staff College, Fort Leavenworth, Ks

Associate Professor of History at the US Army Command and General Staff College where I teach mid-career Army officers at the graduate level. I teach three graduate level courses in military history. The first examines the phenomena of military revolutions from the 1630s to the present, the second course looks at how militaries change by examining the interwar period from 1918 to 1945, and the third course looks at the current operational environment facing our students as the return to the military organizations across the globe. I also offer an elective on the Peninsula War, 1808 to 1814, and have taught elective classes on the Evolution of Military Thought and the American Civil War for International Students. I evaluate student writing, direct research, and mentor students pursuing a masters degree in military arts and science (MMAS).

The Institute on Napoleon and the French Revolution is a unique institution of graduate education. As part of the History Department in the College of Arts and Sciences at Florida State University, it is the only graduate program in the United States devoted solely to the historical study of the Revolutionary and Napoleonic era. The Institute is concerned with all aspects of this period. Its M.A. and Ph.D. students have conducted archival research in almost every country in Europe, as well as in much of North and South America. Graduate theses and dissertations have covered a broad range of subjects on various aspects of the cultural, social, political, gender, religious, diplomatic, and military history of the age.
