Liddell Hart, B HBiblio.com

1978181741London: Cassell & Company 1978. First UK edition the copy of Kenneth Parker Liddell Hart's long-time editor at Cassell and his literary executor. Loosely inserted is a December 1973 autograph letter signed from Adrian Liddell Hart to Parker expressing a hope that Cassell will acquire the UK rights to his father's book. "As his publisher as well as his friend I felt you should be the most appropriate person to consider the publication of a book originally planned by him." Liddell Hart began compiling this anthology in 1968 but the project remained incomplete at the time of his death. The project was completed by Adrian drawing on Liddell Hart's proposed outline the notes made in the margins of books from his library and his correspondence with historians and military figures. Parker's 7 January 1974 reply a file copy of which is also loosely inserted expresses his view - in the event only transitory - that Cassell cannot publish the work. "It is all very unfair because there is no doubt that had it been wholly your father's selection and your father's commentaries then we should have published it like a shot; but without that we have to treat the collection purely as an anthology and that is where the thing falls down. Anthologies really are the very devil to sell however well chosen the contents. There is I think a very real danger that if we were to publish the book some parts of the trade and certainly some of the reviewers would infer that we were trying to 'pass off' something under your father's name. We could put 'Adrian' in letters three inches high and 'Liddell Hart' in twelve point but I'm afraid that wouldn't make the slightest difference." Octavo. Original red boards spine lettered in black. With dust jacket. Spine ends lightly sunned top edge and margin of last few leaves foxed; jacket unclipped spotting at head: a near-fine copy in very good jacket. hardcover
