	Basil Liddell Hart - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Basil Henry Liddell Hart (October 31, 1895 - January 29, 1970) was a military historian who is considered to have greatly influenced the development of armoured warfare in the 20th century, and strategic theory.
		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.

	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.

	Liddell Hart, B.H.
		Liddell Hart volunteered for service in World War I and was badly wounded during the Somme offensive in 1916.
		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.

	The Employment of Tactical Air Power (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		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.

	Basil Liddell Hart
		Basil Liddell Hart, the son of the Reverend Henry Hart and Clara Liddell, was born on 31st October 1895.
		In his articles and books Liddell Hart became the world's leading exponent of using tanks as an independent striking force to make deep penetrations into enemy territory, cutting off enemy troops from their supplies and high command.
		Liddell Hart was one of Britain's leading military historian.

	Manoeuvrist (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		Liddell Hart's failure to draw tangible conclusions is highlighted by Mearsheimer’s observation that the 'indirect approach' was 'such a loosely defined and flexible concept that it could be used to suit almost any purpose'.
		Inevitably Liddell Hart has suffered from his ideal of a bloodless victory, that is contrary to Clausewitzian dictum, the role of the armed forces, and historical experience, however the emphasis on Fuller's option of 'unhingeing' an enemy force rather than wearing it down, has been central to development in British army doctrine since the 1980s.
		Indeed this principle suggests Liddell Hart’s influence on the formation of blitzkrieg which proposed that while engaging the front of the enemy plays on the minds of soldiers, indirect attacks are especially powerful in distressing the enemy commander.

	The Little-Known Story of Percy Hobart
		Aided by the strong independent voice of Liddell Hart, the tank enthusiasts were finally able in 1927 to pressure the British military hierarchy into the formation of an "experimental mechanized force." Maneuvers demonstrated dramatically that such a force outclassed old-style formations, leaving them bewildered and embarrassed.
		Liddell Hart finally convinced the gun-shy Hobart that it was an opportunity to be seized, and that such a chance would never come his way again.
		Liddell Hart has called the 79th Armoured Division "the tactical key to victory." Because it was not a division that fought as a unit, but had its elements farmed out to the Allied armies wherever they were needed, the 79th has far less historical fame than most of the Allied divisions that stormed through Europe.

	Chapter One - Limited War Theory: Origin and Growth
		Liddell Hart was not advocating limited war as a strategy, but was arguing that the wars should be limited.
		Liddell Hart believed that “where both sides possess atomic power, total warfare makes nonsense” and any unlimited war “waged with atomic power would make worse than nonsense: it would be mutually suicidal.”[5] He believed that there would be no victory to any side in an era where the use of atomic weapons was being contemplated.
		Liddell Hart wanted to “revive a code of limiting rules for warfare—based on a realistic view that wars are likely to occur again, and that the limitation of their destructiveness is to everybody’s interest.”[7] However, the arguments favoring limited war in the 1950s had different perceptions.

	Scipio Africanus - Book Reviews
		Liddell Hart, to be sure, has written a study of the military aspects of each campaign, but it is one that is lively and full of insights into the personality traits and vision that made Scipio Africanus a "great captain".
		Liddell Hart applauds Scipio's moderation, worldly diplomacy and instinct for attacking the decisive nerve center of the enemy's warmaking capacity, not necessarily his armies in the field.
		Some of Liddell Hart 's later works are more didactic, in that he had then fixed upon his "indirect approach" theory and tended to hammer it home.

	"Maneuver Warfare" And The MAGTF
		Liddell Hart's indirect approach, especially the concepts of the line of natural expectation and the expanding torrent, amplify existing "Maneuver Warfare" doctrine and are especially applicable to MAGTF doctrine.
		B. Liddell Hart presents an interesting perspective and provides sound advice, when he says In all such cases, the direct assault of new ideas provokes a stubborn resistance, thus intensifying the difficulty of producing a change of outlook.
		The second element, and perhaps the most instructive, is the theory of the "expanding torrent." Liddell Hart describes a torrent of water as it encounters a series of dams or banks.

	Clausewitz in English: Chapter 16
		Liddell Hart's attacks on Clausewitz may not have convinced all of the military intellectuals, but they provided the conventional wisdom among nonintellectual soldiers and many nonmilitary writers.
		Apart from Wilkinson's critique of Liddell Hart, there were few voices raised against him in direct defense of Clausewitz.
		The American writer Hoffman Nickerson lambasted Liddell Hart for "criticizing the great Clausewitz" but did so near the end of the war when the British theorist's prestige was at its lowest ebb.

		Hart wrote his biography of Scipio largely because he saw Scipio's tactics at Illipa and Zama as a prime example of the kind of mobile, flexible warfare that he himself was advocating.
		Hart has been accused of reading too much innovation into the battle description of Livy and Polybius, but nonetheless this is a top notch military biography of an under-rated captain.
		Hart writes off the persecution of Cato as simple jealosy, ignoring the fact that Scipio's metoric rise to fame, honor and command had a destabilizing effect on the Roman oligarchy.

	Liddell Hart's Last Testament (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		Liddell Hart’s long fight in Britain for greater development of tank warfare and his bitter fight to modernize the British Army affect his treatment of every battle involving armor.
		Churchill receives heavy pummeling for his decision to intervene in Greece, an action which Liddell Hart feels led to near disaster for the British in Africa, and for his failure to strengthen Singapore because of his interest in the fighting in the desert.
		In one particular, Liddell Hart allows his long advocacy of continued pursuit to deprive him of the balanced judgment that he shows so often in the book even in dealing with matters that he has criticized.

		He was badly gassed in the Somme offensive and spent the rest of the war in England, training infantrymen.
		Liddell Hart made his reputation as a military theorist in the 1920s, developing ideas intended to prevent a repeat of the earlier trench deadlock: he outlined mobile offensive tactics such as the "expanding torrent" and, as strategy, advocated the "indirect approach," and a form of blitzkrieg involving both tanks and infantry.
		Nevertheless, Liddell Hart's extensive and influential publications established him as one of the important military theorists of the twentieth century.
