You are such a brilliant editor First edition thus presentation set each volume inscribed by Kathleen Liddell Hart to Kenneth Parker her husband's close friend and literary executor. In her preface to Second World War she writes "that we are all most indebted to Kenneth Parker of Cassell's. who has had the heavy task of organizing the History for publication after Basil's death." Second World War is inscribed "For Kenneth Parker To whom so much is owed for his dedicated work as editor especially in the final stages with deep gratitude. From Kathleen Liddell Hart" the inscription in First World War thanking Parker "with gratitude and affection always." Loosely inserted is a typed letter signed dated 21 July 1970 in which she praises Parker's editorial skill: "You have with such efficiency knowledge and may I say affection seen three works through the press - all difficult ones. I've never known you cross or nettled and you knew always just how to deal with an exacting author and now with a poor especially in brain-power widow. You are such a brilliant editor." An accompanying second letter written by hand and dated 24 October 1970 thanks him for flowers sent by Cassell "I'll put some on Basil's grave of course" and describes A. J. P. Taylor's review of Second World War as "horrid." The Second World War in this set is a first edition.

1968167287London: Cassell 1968. First edition first impression presentation copy from the author with a typed letter signed and inscribed warmly on the front free endpaper "To Alice Saxby in deep appreciation and affection - with its personal tribute to you on page 111. From Basil Liddell Hart. States House Medmenham Marlow Bucks". In the letter signed "Basil" and dated 20 August 1969 Liddell Hart asks Saxby to confirm safe receipt of this copy and notes that "Monty was here for lunch today - looking better than he did last year and full of vigour and we were talking warmly about you"; this is presumably a reference to Field Marshal Montgomery whom Saxby nursed while he was undergoing minor surgery at the King Edward VII's Hospital for Officers in January 1955. Alice Saxby 1904-1987 was matron at the hospital from 1948 to 1969 and a leading figure who "lived for the hospital" Hough p. 126. Liddell Hart describes his visits to the hospital in the present work in his essay "Forced to Think": "I did not myself return there as a patient until forty years later for a major operation when I was happy to find that founder Sister Agnes's successor as matron Miss Alice Saxby was quite as dynamic while more knowledgeable" ibid. p. 111. Saxby's death was widely reported in the newspapers and "all the senior members of the royal family were represented at the service" Dorothy Shipsey cited in Hough p. 171. This collection of 42 original essays was published to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the armistice. It includes pieces by Robert Graves Edmund Blunden Gerald Brenan L. P. Hartley R. C. Sherriff Charles Carrington R. H. Mottram Cyril Falls Sir Compton Mackenzie Alec Waugh Vera Brittain Esmé Wingfield-Stratford and Correlli Barnett. Octavo.

Small tear at rear board pages have darkened somewhat. Sir Basil Henry Liddell Hart 31 October 1895 - 29 January 1970 known throughout f his career as Captain B. H. Liddell Hart was a soldier historian and military theorist. Liddell Hart was placed on half-pay from 1924. He later retired from the Army in 1927. Two mild heart attacks in 1921 and 1922 probably the long-term effects of his gassing precluded his further advancement. He spent his career as a theorist and writer. In 1924 he became a military correspondent for the Morning Post. He worked as the Military Correspondent of the Daily Telegraph from 1925 to 1935 and of The Times from 1935 to 1939. Liddell Hart wrote a series of histories through which he advanced his ideas that the frontal assault was a strategy that was bound to fail. He argued that the tremendous losses Britain suffered in the Great War were due to her commanding officers not appreciating this fact of history. . In his early writings on mechanized warfare Liddell Hart had proposed that infantry be carried along with the fast-moving armored formations. He described them as "tank marines" like the soldiers the Royal Navy carried with their ships. He proposed they be carried along in their own tracked vehicles and dismount to help take better-defended positions that otherwise would hold up the armored units. Liddell Hart foresaw the need for a combined arms force with mobile infantry and artillery which was similar but not identical to the make-up of the panzer divisions that Guderian developed in Germany. This book is an examination of ten leading figures of WW I "the war to end all wars" ten years after the armistice. Liddell Hart revisits generals on both sides including Joffre Foch Petain Ludendorff and Pershing. "If you believe as we do that armed conflict revealing as it does human nature with merciless clarity affords us insight and possible guidance into situations less deadly but nevertheless of great importance then this book is for you."

19572603200009Praeger 1957. 2nd. Hardcover. Very Good. 8x5x1. The Classic Book on Military Strategy Third Printing 1957. Hardcover and dust jacket. Good binding and cover. Shelf wear. Small tear to dj. Dust jacket in protective mylar cover. Clean unmarked pages. 430 p. maps 22 cm. <br> "Strategy is a seminal work of military history and theory a perfect companion to Sun-tzu's The Art of War and Carl von Clauswitz's On War. Liddell Hart stressed movement flexibility and surprise. He saw that in most military campaigns dislocation of the enemy's psychological and physical balance is prelude to victory. This dislocation results from a strategic indirect approach. Reflect for a moment on the results of direct confrontation trench war in WW I versus indirect dislocation Blitzkreig in WW II. Liddell Hart is also tonic for business and political planning: just change the vocabulary and his concepts fit. Praeger hardcover
