Blundering to Glory: Napoleon's Military Campaigns

Summary: Interesting and Different Account of Napoleon
Review: This was a very interesting and refreshing account of Napoleon the general and his military campaigns. Overall it offers a concise and interesting look at Napoleon's campaigns and battles and shows that he was a master of adapting to battlefield conditions.

The author states from the beginning that his book is not an in-depth account and anaylsis of Napoleon's military strategy and he does nothing that detracts from Napoleon's legend/myth. He argues that on a number of occassions Napoleon blundered in his strategy but he always regrouped and utilised what ever advantage he had to overcome his enemies.

I think the author did a good job in substaining this arguement and offers a number of accounts to justify his claims. You might not agree with what he has to say but you could not always fault his logic. Either way it was an interesting but quick story and I enjoyed the book.
