    B. H. Liddell Hart

    Sir Basil Liddell Hart was a military strategist and writer of great acclaim, and one of the world's outstanding teacher-historians. Born in Paris in 1895, he was educated at Cambridge before serving on the Western Front with the Yorkshire Light Infantry after which he was military correspondent of the Daily Telegraph and The Times. He evolved several military tactical developments including the Battle Drill system and was an early advocate of airpower and armoured forces. He lectured on strategy and tactics at staff colleges in numerous countries. His many books include biographies of several great commanders, and The Other Side of the Hill - his interviews with the Second World War's highest-ranking German generals. He was knighted in 1966 and died in 1970.

      Mr. Hart, a very well-regarded historian, does very well in explaining the reasons why past military campaigns failed, especially those that he personally witnessed in World War I. It seems like he never quite gets to the answer of the question in his book title, at least in a summary way that I would have found most useful. He does summarize well many of the human failings that have caused, and will continue to cause, military disasters.
    • 5/5
      informative read. It has one clear message...it's this, strive to see the things and happenings of this world 'clearly'
