JFC Fuller: Military Thinker
Brian Holden Reid now considers afresh the military thought of Major-General J.F.C.Fuller - a pioneer of tank warfare and one of the most important military thinkers of the twentieth century. With a wealth of documentation, much of it previously untapped, Dr Reid explores Fuller's formative experiences, showing how his early life, his service in the Boer War and in India, and his friendships with many alienated intellectuals, including the notorious Aleister Crowley, combined to shape his mental outlook and, eventually, his study of the phenomenon of war.
The Generalship of Alexander the Great
In the 4th cent. B.C., at the age of 20, Alexander fulfilled his father's plans for freeing the Greeks of Asia Minor from Persian rule. He invaded the Persian Empire with 30,000 infantry & 5,000 cavalry & in a series of dazzling campaigns which included the battles of Issus & Gaugamela he defeated Darius & was proclaimed King of Asia. His plans to conquer India were resisted by his men, & death cut short the ambitions of one of the greatest soldiers the world has ever known. Alexander was the model for successors as notable as Julius Caesar & Napoleon Bonaparte, & his campaigns are still studied in mil. academies throughout the world. The first book devoted to the mil. achievements of this great world conqueror.” Maps & B&W photos.
The Foundations of the Science of War
The Foundations of the Science of War by Col. J. F. C. Fuller, first published in 1925, aims, as the title suggests and in the author’s own words, to provide “a foundation of the science of war, or, at least, of a science of war.” Col. Fuller spent over 15 years planning this foundation, and it was his endeavour that it would allow military students to examine it “not only for its own worth, but in order to think of war scientifically, for until we do so we shall never become true artists of war.” Likewise, Col. Fuller hoped the book may be of use to all other interested readers, “not only in studying war, but in studying any of the activities of life.” “In this book I am att...

The Second World War, 1939-45
British General J. F. C. Fuller is one of the greatest military thinkers of this century, and has been called the Clausewitz of our time. This book is Fuller’s direct and clear-eyed account of the most terrible war of the modern era. When first published in 1948, it received notices such as these: “The strategic and tactical phases of the war are brilliantly expounded...on that score, the book stands as probably the best comprehensive work on the war to appear so far.”—The New Yorker “The narrative, valuable as it is, is not the most important part of General Fuller’s book.
