Liddell Hart, B H
Defence of the West; Some Riddles of War and Peace
London: Cassell and Company Ltd 1950. First Printing. Hardcover. Good/Fair. Format is 5 inches by 7.5 inches. viii 2 390 pages. Index 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. In the 1920s and later 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. In his 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. That contrasted with J.F.C. Fuller's ideas which put heavy emphasis on massed armored formations. 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 Heinz Guderian developed in Germany. In 1954 Liddell Hart published his most influential work Strategy. The book was largely devoted to a historical study of the indirect approach and in what ways various battles and campaigns could be analyzed using that concept. Still relevant it was a factor in the development of the British maneuver warfare doctrine. The author deals with some basic problems of the human search for security against aggression. Part I of the book analyzes some of the principal puzzles of World War II. Derived from a Kirkus review: A serious well-informed military analyst and historian considers the military situation of Western Europe with appraisals and recommendations for its defense in a war with Russia. The book falls into five parts. Part I deals with blunders of the last war French military orthodoxy leading up to the 1940 collapse failure to clean up in Africa in 1941 much of this based on interviews with German generals Germany's lack of tank transport in Russia the policy of unconditional surrender and fostering resistance movements.Part II titled "Tomorrow" considers the next war and here the author recommends a minimum land force to check the Russian spearheads with preponderant effort concentrated on air strength. Part III surveys Russia's forces today and describes the unused airborne forces as the "ace up Stalin's sleeve". Part IV considers unification the future of armored forces conscription and the Army reorganized for greater flexibility. Finally Part V reviews such problems as an international police force disarmament and limitations of war. There are enough issues addressed to make it of enduring interest to the military strategist and historian. Cassell and Company Ltd hardcover

Liddell Hart, B H
Defence of the West
New York: William Morrow & Co 1950. Presumed First Edition First printing. Hardcover. Good/Fair. 2 x 335 5 pages. Occasional footnotes. Index. DJ worn torn soiled and chipped. Book is slightly cocked. Some page discoloration and soiling. 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. Arguing that frontal assault was bound to fail at great cost in lives as proven in the First World War he recommended the "indirect approach" and reliance on fast-moving armored formations. His pre-war publications are known to have influenced German World War II strategy. He worked as the military correspondent of The Times from 1935 to 1939. In the mid-to-late 1920s Liddell Hart wrote a series of histories of major military figures through which he advanced his ideas that the frontal assault was a strategy bound to fail at great cost in lives. He argued that the losses Britain suffered in the Great War were caused by its commanding officers not appreciating that fact of history. He believed the British decision in 1914 of intervening on the Continent with a great army was a mistake. He claimed that historically "the British way in warfare" was to leave Continental land battles to her allies intervening only through naval power with the army fighting the enemy away from its principal front in a "limited liability" commitment. In his early writings on mechanized warfare Liddell Hart had proposed that infantry be carried along with the fast-moving armored formations. 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 Heinz Guderian developed in Germany. According to Liddell Hart's memoirs in a series of articles for The Times from November 1935 to November 1936 he had argued that Britain's role in the next European war should be entrusted to the air force. The ideas influenced Neville Chamberlain then Chancellor of the Exchequer who argued in discussions of the Defence Policy and Requirements Committee for a strong air force rather than a large army that would fight on the Continent. Becoming prime minister in 1937 Chamberlain placed Liddell Hart in a position of influence behind British grand strategy in the late 1930s. Liddell Hart gained an introduction to the Secretary of State for War Leslie Hore-Belisha. Through July 1938 the two had an unofficial close advisory relationship. Liddell Hart provided Hore-Belisha with ideas which he would argue for in Cabinet or committees. On 20 October 1937 Chamberlain wrote to Hore-Belisha "I have been reading in Europe in Arms by Liddell Hart. If you have not already done so you might find it interesting to glance at this especially the chapter on the 'Role of the British Army'". Hore-Belisha wrote in reply: "I immediately read the 'Role of the British Army' in Liddell Hart's book. I am impressed by his general theories". Derived from a Kirkus review: A serious well-informed military analyst and historian considers the military situation of Western Europe with appraisals and recommendations for its defence in a war with Russia. The book falls into five parts. Part I deals with blunders of the last war French military orthodoxy leading up to the 1940 collapse failure to clean up in Africa in 1941 much of this based on interviews with German generals Germany's lack of tank transport in Russia the policy of unconditional surrender and fostering resistance movements.Part II titled "Tomorrow"" considers the next war and here the author recommends a minimum land force to check the Russian spearheads with preponderant effort concentrated on air strength. Part III surveys Russia's forces today and describes the unused airborne forces as the "ace up Stalin's sleeve". Part IV considers unification the future of armored forces conscription and the Army reorganized for greater flexibility. Finally Part V reviews such problems as an international police force disarmament and limitations of war. Dated by the swift passage of history with the Korean War nonetheless there are enough basic issues to make it of interest to the armchair strategist. William Morrow & Co hardcover

LIDDELL HART, Basil Henry
History of the Second World War; History of the First World War.
London: Cassell 1970. You are such a brilliant editor First edition thus presentation set each volume inscribed by Kathleen Liddell Hart to Kenneth Parker her husband's close friend and literary executor. In her preface to Second World War she writes "that we are all most indebted to Kenneth Parker of Cassell's. who has had the heavy task of organizing the History for publication after Basil's death." Second World War is inscribed "For Kenneth Parker To whom so much is owed for his dedicated work as editor especially in the final stages with deep gratitude. From Kathleen Liddell Hart" the inscription in First World War thanking Parker "with gratitude and affection always." Loosely inserted is a typed letter signed dated 21 July 1970 in which she praises Parker's editorial skill: "You have with such efficiency knowledge and may I say affection seen three works through the press - all difficult ones. I've never known you cross or nettled and you knew always just how to deal with an exacting author and now with a poor especially in brain-power widow. You are such a brilliant editor." An accompanying second letter written by hand and dated 24 October 1970 thanks him for flowers sent by Cassell "I'll put some on Basil's grave of course" and describes A. J. P. Taylor's review of Second World War as "horrid." The Second World War in this set is a first edition. To coincide with publication Cassell released a new companion edition of First World War first published in 1930 and revised in 1934. The histories were available separately or together in a slipcase as here. 2 vols octavo. Maps in text. Original red cloth spines lettered in gilt top edge red. With dust jackets. Housed in publisher's blue card slipcase. A few marks and light rubbing to cloth; jackets unclipped spines sunned a few nicks: fine copies in near-fine jackets the slipcase worn in places. hardcover

LIDDELL HART, Basil Henry (contrib).
Promise of Greatness. The War of 1914-18.
London: Cassell 1968. First edition first impression presentation copy from the author with a typed letter signed and inscribed warmly on the front free endpaper "To Alice Saxby in deep appreciation and affection - with its personal tribute to you on page 111. From Basil Liddell Hart. States House Medmenham Marlow Bucks". In the letter signed "Basil" and dated 20 August 1969 Liddell Hart asks Saxby to confirm safe receipt of this copy and notes that "Monty was here for lunch today - looking better than he did last year and full of vigour and we were talking warmly about you"; this is presumably a reference to Field Marshal Montgomery whom Saxby nursed while he was undergoing minor surgery at the King Edward VII's Hospital for Officers in January 1955. Alice Saxby 1904-1987 was matron at the hospital from 1948 to 1969 and a leading figure who "lived for the hospital" Hough p. 126. Liddell Hart describes his visits to the hospital in the present work in his essay "Forced to Think": "I did not myself return there as a patient until forty years later for a major operation when I was happy to find that founder Sister Agnes's successor as matron Miss Alice Saxby was quite as dynamic while more knowledgeable" ibid. p. 111. Saxby's death was widely reported in the newspapers and "all the senior members of the royal family were represented at the service" Dorothy Shipsey cited in Hough p. 171. This collection of 42 original essays was published to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the armistice. It includes pieces by Robert Graves Edmund Blunden Gerald Brenan L. P. Hartley R. C. Sherriff Charles Carrington R. H. Mottram Cyril Falls Sir Compton Mackenzie Alec Waugh Vera Brittain Esmé Wingfield-Stratford and Correlli Barnett. Octavo. Map of the Western Front facing Robert Graves's contribution on p. 2. Original black cloth spine lettered in gilt. With dust jacket. Cloth lightly rubbed and marked spots to edges contents clean; jacket spine lettering faintly toned purple colour bright rubbing and occasional nicks unclipped: a very good copy in like jacket.
