The first full-scale biography of Major-General J. F. C. Fuller, one of the most influential and controversial military thinkers of the twentieth century. Known to friends and critics alike as "Boney" Fuller, he played a pivotal role in developing modern armoured warfare theory and helped shape military thinking between the World Wars.
Anthony John Trythall traces Fuller's life from his early years and service in the Boer War through the First World War, where he became a leading advocate of mechanised warfare and tank operations. The book examines his pioneering military theories, his influence on British and foreign military doctrine, his complex relationship with political movements of the inter-war period, and his lasting impact on modern military strategy.
Drawing on extensive research and Fuller's own writings, the biography presents a balanced assessment of a brilliant but often divisive figure whose ideas influenced military leaders around the world, including many architects of twentieth-century armoured warfare.
