 Alice Liddell - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Alice Pleasance Liddell (May 4, 1852 - November 16, 1934) was the inspiration for the heroine of the children's classic Alice's Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll.
It was speculated that Alice’s mother, Lorina Liddell, disapproved of Dodgson’s interest in her daughter as she saw him as an unfit suitor.
One thing for sure, Alice Liddell did not inspire the illustrations of "Alice" in the published books: there is a myth that Dodgson sent Tenniel a photo of another child-friend of his, Mary Hilton Badcock, suggesting to use her as a model (Gardner, 1970, chap.

 Clausewitz in English: Chapter 15
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.
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.
Further, Liddell Hart's criticism of Clausewitz's "disciples" is, in fact, a form of praise for their master, and Liddell Hart himself believed that he had clearly distinguished between the two.

 The Employment of Tactical Air Power   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
Liddell Hart never went to the extremes that some of the advocates of air power tended toward, and thus he never argued for the exclusive use of air power in long-range bombardment, at the cost of the fighter pursuit, close air support, and interdiction missions.
Liddell Hart’s intellectual youth had involved the construction of scenarios in which air power—in the form of bomber offensives—was seen to offer an instrument by which a strategy of indirect approach could be realized for modem mechanized war.
Liddell Hart recognized the value of air cover, and he was not advocating the adoption of a strategy which threw ground forces into an environment dominated by enemy air.

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 wrote the foreword to Guderian's memoirs, and not coincidentally, is recognized as Guderian's mentor.

 History of the Second World War   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
Liddell Hart's history is as thorough and epic in scale as the war itself, authored by an experienced military strategist who bore witness to its prosecution, it holds unique and valuable insight.
But I consider that Liddell Hart has emphasized overall fairness, the Allies together defeated the Axis powers, it was not one partner exclusively, although the Soviet Union's all-important recoiling of Hitler's invasion has been given deserved focus in the book.
As a military history of the Second World War I doubt whether the understanding of Liddell Hart or his analytical brilliance shall be surpassed, and as an historian of the Twentieth Century he is rightly regarded as amongst its most esteemed.

The conventional view of Carroll, a stuttering Oxford mathematician, was that he was sexually fixated with Alice Liddell, the 10-year-old daughter of friends, for whom he created Wonderland during the hot summer in 1862.
The affair was a closely guarded secret since a scandal could have ended the young Carroll's academic career, as well as undermining the standing of Henry Liddell at Christ Church.
This was in contrast to Henry Liddell who, 14 years older than his wife, worked at the same desk for 50 years and even by Victorian standards was regarded as dull and stuffy.
