"Deadliest Warrior" was originally created by Michael Scebknlz and produced by Morningstar Entertainment. Production responsibilities now rest with 44 Blue. It has aired since 2009. Thus far, the show has staged match-ups consisting of pirates, ninjas, samurai, Spartans, knights, Roman gladiators, Green Berets, Navy SEALS, and more. They've also zeroed in on specific individuals, such as Genghis Khan, Shaka Zulu, Saddam Hussein, Joan of Arc, and more.
To determine whether the ruthless master of warfare, Napoleon Bonaparte, could overwhelm the persistent and innovative Washington, the "Deadliest Warrior" production team interviewed experts, staged weapons demonstrations, and put together intense and highly complex mathematical simulations. To compensate for the fact that virtually anything can happen in one battle, "Deadliest Warrior" usually runs 1000 simulations for each contest. In the case of Washington and Napoleon, they ran it 5000 times. And the results were very close. In fact, they were the closest thus far in any match-up. To see who won....
For whatever it's worth, I have to agree with the outcome. What do YOU think?

I thought I would let you and your readers know about a new book by Matthew Flynn of West Point and myself covering this very subject. Its called Washington & Napoleon. While we don't put them head to head in a contrived battle, we do look at just how similar their lives were. You can take a look at Amazon's page (http://amzn.to/zgHCGd) or our facebook.com/washingtonandnapoleon page for more info about the project. Thanks!
