Download or read book German Generals Talk written by Basil H. Hart and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 1971-09-01 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The German Generals who survived Hitler's Reich talk over World War II with Capt. Liddell Hart, noted British miltary strategist and writer. They speak as professional soldiers to a man they know and respect. For the first time, answers are revealed to many questions raised during the war. Was Hitler the genius of strategy he seemed to be at first? Why did his Generals never overthrow him? Why did Hitler allow the Dunkirk evacuation? Current interest, of course, focuses on the German Generals' opinion of the Red Army as a fighting force. What did the Russians look like from the German side? How did we look? And what are the advantages and disadvantages under which dictator-controlled armies fight? In vivid, non-technical language, Capt. Liddell Hart reports these interviews and evaluates the vital military lessons of World War II.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.” Strategy is a seminal work of military history and theory, a perfect companion to Sun-tzu’s The Art of War and Carl von Clausewitz’s On War. Liddell Hart stressed movement, flexibility, and 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 WWI) versus indirect dislocation (Blitzkrieg in WWII). Liddell Hart is also tonic for business and political planning: just change the vocabulary and his concepts fit.-Print ed. “The most important book by one of the outstanding military authorities of our time.”—Library Journal

Download or read book Liddell Hart and the Weight of Criticism written by Lutz Unterseher and published by LIT Verlag. This book was released on 2023-03-30 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study is dedicated to the person and work of Basil Henry Liddell Hart, once considered the world's most distinguished military historian and theorist. The focus is on the systematic criticism voiced of his thinking and activities by scholars on both sides of the Atlantic: critical positions that - to a considerable extent - have seriously damaged Liddell Hart's reputation. By drawing on general military theory as well as biographical details, Unterseher succeeds in rendering the theorist's concepts better understandable, in relevant cases even justifying them.
