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

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."
