| abstract | - Gunther E. Rothenberg (11 July 1923 – 26 April 2004) was an internationally known military historian. Although widely known for his books and journal articles on the French Revolutionary Wars and the Napoleonic Wars, Rothenberg also had a fifteen-year military career, serving in the British Army, the Haganah, and the United States Air Force during World War II, the 1948 War, and the Korean War. He emigrated to the United States in 1948 with $12 in his pocket. After military service in the United States Air Force, he graduated from the University of Illinois with an undergraduate degree. Two years later, he had a masters degree from the University of Chicago. In 1959 he finished his doctoral degree at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. He retired from Purdue University, was appointed Professor Emeritus, and lived in Canberra, Australia, where he continued to write about the Napoleonic Wars. He wrote several ground-breaking books on the organization of the Habsburg military and the military reforms of Archduke Charles in the first decade of the Napoleonic Wars. His last book, The Emperor's Last Victory, about the Battle of Wagram in 1809, was published posthumously.
