Blundering to Glory: Napoleon's Military Campaigns - Book by Owen Connelly

Owen Connelly’s Blundering to Glory: Napoleon’s Military Campaigns presents a unique and revised perspective on Napoleon Bonaparte, portraying him as a master of improvisation rather than a strategist with grand, flawless plans. Connelly argues that Napoleon’s military genius lay in his ability to adapt to changing situations, capitalize on enemy mistakes, and turn seemingly desperate circumstances into victories. The book traces Napoleon’s rise, from his early life to his command at Toulon and leadership of the Army of Italy, analyzing his campaigns as both a general during the French Revolution and as emperor. Connelly highlights Napoleon’s "art of war" as one of reactive tactics and battlefield intuition, showing that his “blunders” were often key to his success. The work offers a thorough examination of his campaigns, emphasizing how these unplanned moments contributed to his reputation as a great general.
