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--a man generally regarded as the
"Clausewitz of the 20th century."
Liddell Hart stressed movement, flexibilty, 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.
"The most important book by one of the outstanding military
authorities of our time." (Library Journal) --This text refers to
