It received the British Army Military Book of the Year Award for 2010, and achieved commercial success, reaching No. 2 on The Sunday Times best-seller list. Much of Roberts's later work, including his 2014 and 2018 biographies of Napoleon and Sir Winston Churchill, has been widely praised. Roberts's public commentary has additionally appeared in several British publications, such as The Daily Telegraph and The Spectator, including his support for Atlanticism within international relations.
