A History of the First World War
First published in 1930, A History of the First World War is a timeless classic – widely regarded as one of the greatest, most cogent accounts of the conflict ever published. A leading military strategist and historian who fought on the Western Front, Liddell Hart combines astute tactical analysis with compassion for those who lost their lives on the battlefield. Revered for its profound insight and compelling writing, provides a vivid and fascinating picture of all the major campaigns, balancing documentary evidence with the testimony of personal witnesses to expose the twists and mistakes of WWI’s battles. He guides you through the war’s political and cultural origins, reveals the intricate strategies at work, analyses the critical decisions that resulted in devastating losses – and uncovers the impact on modern nations. This magnificent history covers four brutal years in one volume and is a true military classic.
Sir Basil Liddell Hart and Tanks
Sir Basil Liddell Hart's thinking about tanks is more interesting and varied than he or his disciples portrayed. His ideals of speed and stealthiness are worthy, but unbalanced, This book helps to implement his ideals more realistically.
Strategy
"The most important book by one of the outstanding military authorities of our time."—Library Journal Strategy is a seminal work of military history and theory, and a perfect companion to Sun-tzu’s The Art of War and Carl von Clauswitz’s On War. This is the classic book on war as we know it. During his long life, Basil H. Liddell Hart was considered one of the world's foremost military thinkers. In his writing, he stressed movement, flexibility, and surprise. He saw that in most military campaigns, it was vital to take an indirect approach. Rather than attacking the enemy head-on, one must dislocate their psychological and physical balance. With key examples from World War I and World War II (think trench warfare vs Blitzkreig), Liddell Hart defines the practical principles of waging war—“Adjust your end to your means,” “Take a line of operation which offers alternate objectives”—and proves they are as fundamental in the worlds of politics and business as they are in warfare.
