ASOIAF: how is Tyrion so successful in the battles he's in?

Look, let's face it. The idea of Tyrion Lannister as Badass McGee(which is exactly what he is in the books) is incredibly implausible for a normal dwarf(like Peter Dinklage.)
I believe in the books, only Tryion's legs are stunted and twisted; his arms, apparently are strong, which allows him to slay armored, trained knights right and left in the Battle of the Blackwater and hold his won in the Battle of the Greenfork.
Clearly this is an instance where something can be more-or-less believable in a book but would stretch credibility too much in a film or TV show, which is why the show wisely opted for a less bad-ass(though no less brave) Tyrion.
