In this concise and thought-provoking study, distinguished military historian and strategist B. H. Liddell Hart examines why nations, governments and individuals repeatedly fail to apply the lessons of the past. Covering history and truth, government and freedom, and war and peace, Hart considers the influence of prejudice, propaganda and incomplete evidence upon historical understanding. He also explores recurring errors in political and military decision-making and argues for the importance of independent thought and the practical study of history. This is the revised and expanded 1972 edition of a work first published in 1944.
