Title: Some reviewers are missing the point
Product review: Just because Napoleon scrambeled and won doesn't make him lucky in fact that's what makes him a great military leader. He was a detailed planner but he understood that no plan survives first contact and that adjustments need to be made on the fly. The side that can make the quicker and faster adjustments wins. I think the author should have stayed away from words like "Blundering" in the title because it gives the impression that he was lucky but nothing could be farther from the truth. If Napoleon was lucky you could say he made his own luck. The ability to quickly adapt plans especially when your moving large armies is predicated on detailed planning and a well trained chain of command and staff system - all the responsibility of the man in charge. This book, from this perspective, enhances the great reputation that Napoleon has and deserves.
