Message from the Director Geoffrey Wawro:

Wawro Welcome to the Military History Center at the University of North Texas. Our goal is to build one of the premier military history programs in the world. We are hiring great military historians, who teach and write well. We will use this center to pull together our own faculty and our advisory fellows -- heavyweights like Niall Ferguson, Holger Herwig, and Jeremy Black -- and to attract speakers and conferences like our hugely successful Alfred Hurley Military History Seminar, which has been an annual event in North Texas for twenty-five years. Speakers have included Michael Howard, Martin Blumenson, Dennis Showalter, David Glantz, Carlo D'Este, Allan Millett, and Gerhard Weinberg. At the UNT Military History Center we are introducing a PhD. in military history. Here we study, analyze and discuss the history and future of warfare in every era and culture. Join us in North Texas, or right here on the web.

Wawro UNT and the Military History Center are proud to
announce the hire of Dr. Michael V. Leggiere, who is one of the leading historians in the world of the Napoleonic Wars. Mike comes to us from
LSU-Shreveport; his PhD in history is from Florida State University. Mike has published two acclaimed books, Napoleon and Berlin: The Franco-Prussian War in North Germany, 1813 (2002) and The Fall of Napoleon: the Allied Invasion of France, 1813-14 (2007). He is presently writing volume two of the Fall of France for Cambridge University Press, and is also writing a biography of Prussian Field Marshal Gebhard von Bluecher and, for Yale University Press, a new history of the Battle of Waterloo. Mike is an active member of the Society for Military History and the German Studies Association and serves on the Board of Directors of the Consortium on Revolutionary Europe. He is thrilled to be moving with his wife and two children to the Dallas Metroplex to work with UNT's strong history department and dynamic Military History Center, where he will serve as Dr. Geoff Wawro's deputy. Mike enjoys teaching the French Revolution, Napoleon, the Age of Nationalism, and the
military history of 18th century Europe.
