	Clausewitz in English: Chapter 15
		Throughout his writing career, Liddell Hart was persistently and bitterly critical of Clausewitz, portraying him as the "evil genius of military thought," as the "apostle of total war," and as a relentless advocate of mass and the offensive.
		As one French admirer observed, "It is odd that Liddell Hart never realized that in peace, as in war, it is usually necessary to employ the strategy of indirect approach." (3) Discredited by the events of 1940, Liddell Hart painfully rebuilt his reputation after the war.
		According to Liddell Hart, obviously influenced by the ideas of the Italian air theorist Giulio Douhet, such a policy could hardly be a crime if it led to the speedy conclusion of the war and a consequent minimization of overall casualties.

	Intro to Part II
		Liddell Hart's views were echoed more recently by Weigley: "The first English-speaking generation to read Clausewitz got the impression that he believed victory is the only object of war, that when the guns begin firing, diplomacy abdicates to military strategy." (4)
		Liddell Hart, Basil H., The British Way of Warfare (London: Faber and Faber, 1932; New York: Macmillan, 1933), 17.
		Liddell Hart's statement, however, is at best misleading.

	Military History Four Approaches
		At the time of his death in 1970, Sir Basil H. Liddell Hart, the renowned British military writer, was working on an anthology on war, a "selection of great writing on military topics," which would include material from antiquity to the present.
		One of these is William T. Sherman's "Letter to Major R. Sawyer, 1864," which reveals the philosophical basis for Sherman's harsh, though very effective, way of war; another is Adrian Liddell Hart's introduction, in which he expresses his own views on war and the military art.
		Sir Basil's son Adrian has completed the volume, and the name Liddell Hart on the dust jacket of a hook is reason enough to peruse it.

		Liddell Hart argues that the German General Staff--the Oberkommando das Heeres or O.K.H. did not play a significant role in beginning World War II, "except as an ineffectual brake." (5) This was Hitler's war--the generals did not call the tune.
		Liddell Hart volunteered for service in World War I and was badly wounded during the Somme offensive in 1916.
		Liddell Hart sought to imprint his interpretation of World War II upon the future by providing "an important section of the necessary material for history."

	Jomini and Clausewitz--Their Interaction
		Mahan's father, military educator Dennis Hart Mahan, is generally considered to have been a devout Jominian, and so is his son (though in fact both were creative thinkers in their own right, and calling them "Jominians" is an unfair characterization).
		Mahan's own copy has been lost, but his marginal notes were transcribed into a copy donated to the Naval War College by Puleston, Mahan's biographer.
		Mahan's interest is further evidenced by his marginal notes in a copy of Major Stewart Murray's 1909 condensation of On War, The Reality of War (London: Hugh Rees, 1909).

	Strategy by Basil Henry Liddell Hart - The Dark Spiral
		Liddell Hart's too brief comments about war in the age of nuclear weapons are all the more important to us today, lest we find ourselves caught up in an unwinnable war because of poor strategy.
		Liddell Hart's chapter on "Guerilla War" helps to illustrate the bloody catastrophes of the Viet Nam era and the current insurgency in Iraq.
		While Liddell Hart had the benefit of living on the time when Von Clausewitz's war "premises" were revised after the massacres of WWI, and Liddell Hart is one of the grandfathers of modern tank warfare, I think his concept of "Indirect Approach" is a modernization of Sun Tzu's principles on deception in warfare.

		These included the Hawker Hind and the Hawker Hart, which became the most produced UK airplane in the years before the Second World War.

		After the war Hawker Aircraft produced one of the outstanding post war jet aircraft the Hawker Hunter, which set a world speed record of 728mph in 1953.

		Apart from Wilkinson's critique of Liddell Hart, there were few voices raised against him in direct defense of Clausewitz.

		It is believed by the command that the stamped notation "Cannot Identify" was possibly an error, and that this is simply a case of shortage of strategic war material, USS Skipjack probably being low on the priority list.
		In order to co-operate in the war effort at small local sacrifice USS Skipjack desires no further action be taken until the end of the current war, which has created a situation so aptly described as "War is Hell"

		The principal posthumous biography of Liddell Hart, Alex Danchev's Alchemist of War: The Life of Basil Liddell Hart, written with the cooperation of Liddell Hart's widow, is startling for its candor.
		Among its revelations are that Liddell Hart connived at the planting of an endorsement of his own work in the English language version of Panzer Leader, the autobiography of Heinz Guderian.
		Although Guderian greatly admired Liddell Hart's work, and avidly read his newspaper columns, the German language edition of Guderian's autobiography gives Liddell Hart's work no greater preference than that of his contemporary, J.F.C. Fuller whom Guderian also admired.
