Small tear at rear board, pages have darkened somewhat. Sir Basil Henry Liddell Hart (31 October 1895 – 29 January 1970), known throughout f his career as Captain B. H. Liddell Hart, was a soldier, historian and military theorist. Liddell Hart was placed on half-pay from 1924. He later retired from the Army in 1927. Two mild heart attacks in 1921 and 1922, probably the long-term effects of his gassing, precluded his further advancement. He spent his career as a theorist and writer. In 1924 he became a military correspondent for the Morning Post. He worked as the Military Correspondent of the Daily Telegraph from 1925 to 1935, and of The Times from 1935 to 1939. Liddell Hart wrote a series of histories through which he advanced his ideas that the frontal assault was a strategy that was bound to fail. He argued that the tremendous losses Britain suffered in the Great War were due to her commanding officers not appreciating this fact of history. . In his early writings on mechanized warfare Liddell Hart had proposed that infantry be carried along with the fast-moving armored formations. He described them as "tank marines" like the soldiers the Royal Navy carried with their ships. He proposed they be carried along in their own tracked vehicles and dismount to help take better-defended positions that otherwise would hold up the armored units. Liddell Hart foresaw the need for a combined arms force with mobile infantry and artillery, which was similar but not identical to the make-up of the panzer divisions that Guderian developed in Germany.

Index. Index to Editorial Notes by General Bayerlein. DJ is in a plastic sleeve. It has wear, tears, soiling, and chips. Embossed stamp of previous owner on title page. Contents include: Introduction, The Story of the Rommel Papers by Manfred Rommel, Editorial Note, Part One: France 1940; Part Two: The War in Africa--First Year; Part Three: The War in Africa--Second Year; Part Four: Italy; Part Five: Invasion. The Rommel Papers is the collected writings by the German World War II field marshal Erwin Rommel published in 1953. The book included Rommel's writings of the war, edited by the British strategist and historian B. H. Liddell Hart, the former Wehrmacht officer Fritz Bayerlein, who served on Rommel's staff in North Africa, and Rommel's widow and son. The volume contained an introduction and commentary by Liddell Hart. Liddell Hart had a personal interest in the work: by having coaxed Rommel's widow to include material favorable to himself, he could present Rommel as his "pupil" when it came to mobile armored warfare. Thus, Liddell Hart's "theory of indirect approach" became a precursor to the German blitzkrieg ("lightning war"). The controversy was described by the political scientist John Mearsheimer in his work The Weight of History, who concluded that, by "putting words in the mouths of German Generals and manipulating history", Liddell Hart was in a position to show that he had been at the root of the dramatic German successes in 1940.
