Review:
Owen Connelly has written a magnificent book....The text moves right along, does not bog down in favorite emperor stories, and offers the most plausible explanation of Napoleon’s many-sided military character that it has been my pleasure to read....Students at all levels...will sit entwined with the fast-moving text....This is a great book. All historians would do well to read it. (American Historical Review)

Students of all levels, as well as the public at large, will sit entwined within the fast moving texttttt (Modern Europe)

Blundering to Glory is an excellent primer or introduction to Napoleon and his military impact on the era, and it also offers ideas to challenge scholars and students of the perioddddd (Napoleon Journal)

A thoroughly stimulating and enjoyable volume. Connelly examines all the campaigns with exemplary conciseness, and the same is to be said of his treatment of the battles. . . . Whether this book entertains or (occasionally) infuriates, it makes a reader think. (Journal Of The Society For Army Historical Research)

Readers will find this book useful to have in their library. Connelly gently but surely draws the readers into questioning whether or not Napoleon ever had a strategic aim. (Journal Of The Royal Artillery)

This is a concise, clear, authoritative account presented in a felicitous literary style. Of the many works on Napoleon's thirty-year career, this is the best brief account. (Canadian Military History)

Students of all levels, as well as the public at large, will sit entwined within the fast moving text (Modern Europe)

Blundering to Glory is an excellent primer or introduction to Napoleon and his military impact on the era, and it also offers ideas to challenge scholars and students of the period (Napoleon Journal)

Connelly's summaries of the action are clear and concise; his description of the social and political context in which Napoleon fought is exquisite; his portrayal of the personalities of Napoleon's marshals is lively and insightful; and his portrait of Napoleon's ambition and drive to win is superb. (Military Review)
