Churchill; Four Faces and the Man
London: Allen Lane, The Penguin Press, 1969. Presumed First U. K. Edition, First printing. Hardcover. 252, [4] pages. Occasional footnotes. Ink comment, signed and dated on fep. A., J. P. Taylor--The Statesman; Robert Rhodes James--The Politician; J. H. Plumb--The Historian; Basil Liddell Hart--The Military Strategist; Anthony Storr--The Man; and Chronology. 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
