Sir Basil Henry Liddell Hart (31 October 1895 – 29 January 1970), commonly known throughout most of his career as Captain B. H. Liddell Hart, was a British soldier, military historian and military theorist. He wrote a series of military histories that proved influential among strategists. He argued that frontal assault was a strategy that was bound to fail at great cost in lives, as happened in the First World War. He instead recommended the "indirect approach" and reliance on fast-moving armored formations. His pre-war publications are known to have influenced German wartime strategy, though he was accused of prompting captured generals to exaggerate his part in the development of blitzkrieg tactics. Anthony Storr (18 May 1920 – 17 March 2001) was an English psychiatrist, psychoanalyst, and author. In his books, Storr explored the secrets of the dark sides of the human psyche – aggression (Human Aggression, 1968), and destructiveness (Human Destructiveness, 1972). At the same time, he saw the possibility of creative use of these spontaneous drives and directing them towards sports, scientific and artistic feats (The Dynamics of Creation, 1972). More

Michael T. Thornhill Ph.D. is an authority and published author on Egypt, the Suez Crisis and the post war Middle East. He is the academic director of Boston University's European Study Abroad organization. Michael has degrees from Leeds University and the LSE, and a Ph.D. from Oxford. This book is about Britain's 'forgotten' Suez campaign, one that occurred in the first half of the 1950s and entailed a political, diplomatic, and military struggle with and within Egypt for possession of the Suez Canal Zone, which at the time was the largest military base in the world. This more drawn-out crisis was pivotal in the making of the modern Middle East, from providing the circumstances for the rise of an Egyptian leader who became the Arab world's most charismatic statesman, to engineering the success of the United States over Britain as the dominant "outside" power in the region.

Robert Hugh Ferrell (May 8, 1921 – August 8, 2018) was an American historian and a prolific author or editor of more than 60 books on a wide range of topics, including the U.S. presidency, World War I, and U.S. foreign policy and diplomacy. One of the country’s leading historians, Ferrell was widely considered the preeminent authority on the administration of Harry S. Truman, and also wrote books about half a dozen other 20th-century presidents. He was thought by many in the field to be the "dean of American diplomatic historians," a title he himself eschewed. Ferrell was an intelligence analyst in the U.S. Air Force in Washington, D.C., during the Korean War. More
