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.

He founded the periodicals "New Writing" and "The London Magazine" and the publishing house of John Lehmann Limited. Born in Bourne End Buckinghamshire the fourth child of journalist Rudolph Lehmann and brother of Helen Lehmann novelist Rosamond Lehmann and actress Beatrix Lehmann he was educated at Eton and read English at Trinity College Cambridge. He considered his time at both as "lost years". At Trinity Lehmann had a passionate relationship with Virginia Woolf's nephew Quentin Bell. After a period as a journalist in Vienna he returned to England to found the popular periodical New Writing 193640 in book format. This literary magazine sought to break down social barriers and published works by working-class authors as well as educated middle-class writers and poets. It proved a great influence on literature of the period and an outlet for writers such as Christopher Isherwood W. H. Auden Edward Upward and miner-author B. L. Coombes. Lehmann included many of these authors in his anthology Poems for Spain which he edited with Stephen Spender. With the onset of the Second World War and paper rationing New Writing's future was uncertain and so Lehmann wrote New Writing in Europe for Pelican Books one of the first critical summaries of the writers of the 1930s in which he championed the authors who had been the stars of New WritingAuden and Spenderand also his close friend Tom Wintringham and Wintringham's ally the emerging George Orwell. Wintringham reintroduced Lehmann to Allen Lane of Penguin Books who secured paper for The Penguin New Writing a monthly book-magazine this time in paperback. The first issue featured Orwell's essay "Shooting an Elephant". Occasional hardback editions combined with the magazine Daylight appeared sporadically but it was as Penguin New Writing that the magazine survived until 1950. He joined Leonard and Virginia Woolf as managing director of Hogarth Press between 1938 and 1946. He then established his own publishing company John Lehmann Limited with his novelist sister Rosamond Lehmann who had a nine-year affair with one of Lehmann's contributing poets Cecil Day-Lewis. They published new works by authors such as Jean-Paul Sartre and Nikos Kazantzakis and discovered talents like Thom Gunn and Laurie Lee. Lehmann edited two anthologies of new writing entitled Orpheus: A Symposium of the Arts 194849. He also published the first two books by the cookery writer Elizabeth David A Book of Mediterranean Food and French Country Cooking. He published two of Denton Welch's posthumous works: A Voice Through a Cloud for which he supplied the title 1950 and A Last Sheaf 1951. This publishing house published several book series including the Chiltern Library the Holiday Library the Modern European Library and the Library of Art and Travel. It operated from 19461953. In 1954 he founded The London Magazine remaining as editor until 1961 following which he was a frequent lecturer and completed his three-volume autobiography Whispering Gallery 1955 I Am My Brother 1960 and The Ample Proposition 1966. In The Purely Pagan Sense 1976 is an autobiographical record of his homosexual life in England and pre-war Germany discreetly written in the form of a novel. He also wrote the biographies Edith Sitwell 1952 Virginia Woolf and her World 1975 Thrown to the Woolfs 1978 Rupert Brooke 1980 and Christopher Isherwood. A Personal Memoir 1987. His book Three Literary Friendships 1983 deals with the relationships between Lord Byron and Percy Shelley Arthur Rimbaud and Paul Verlaine Robert Frost and Edward Thomas. In 1965 he published Christ the Hunter a spiritual/autobiographical prose poem which had been broadcast in 1964 on the BBC Third Programme. In 1974 Lehmann published a book of poems The Reader at Night hand-printed on handmade paper and hand-bound in an edition of 250 signed copies Toronto Basilike 1974. An essay by Paul Davies about the creation of this book is included in Professor A.T. Tolley's collection John Lehmann: A Tribute Ottawa; Carleton University Press 1987 which also includes pieces by Roy Fuller Thom Gunn Charles Osborne Christopher Levenson Jeremy Reed George Woodcock and others. John Lehmann died in London on 7 April 1987 aged 79. Wikipedia paperback

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."
