In Thoughts on War, Captain B. H. Liddell Hart draws together many of his most influential essays on military theory, strategy and modern warfare. Written against the backdrop of the Second World War, the book examines the principles of strategy, grand strategy, tactics, mechanisation, command and the psychological aspects of conflict. Expanding upon ideas that shaped twentieth-century military thought, Liddell Hart analyses both historical campaigns and contemporary warfare while advocating an indirect approach to military operations. A classic work of strategic studies that remains essential reading for military historians, students of war and professional soldiers alike.
