Books by B. H. Liddell Hart

B. H. Liddell Hart (1895–1970) was a British military historian, strategist, and journalist whose influence on twentieth-century military thought was substantial. A veteran of the First World War, he spent the interwar years as a military correspondent and critic, arguing vigorously for mechanized warfare and against the attrition doctrine that had characterized the Western Front. His books include The Real War 1914–1918, Scipio Africanus, and Rommel: The Desert Fox. Strategy: The Indirect Approach, his most widely read work, appeared in multiple editions from 1929 to 1967.
