Strategy

"The most important book by one of the outstanding military authorities of our time." – Library Journal
 
This is the classic book on war as we know it. During his long life, Basil H. Liddell Hart was considered one of the world's foremost military thinkers--a man generally regarded as the "Clausewitz of the 20th century." Strategy is a seminal work of military history and theory, a perfect companion to Sun-tzu’s The Art of War and Carl von Clauswitz’s On War.

Liddell Hart stressed movement, flexibility, and surprise. He saw that in most military campaigns dislocation of the enemy's psychological and physical balance is prelude to victory. This dislocation results from a strategic indirect approach. Reflect for a moment on the results of direct confrontation (trench war in WW I) versus indirect dislocation (Blitzkreig in WW II). Liddell Hart is also tonic for business and political planning: just change the vocabulary and his concepts fit.

ilk 350 sayfası bana çok sıkıcı geldi. tarihte yaşanan savaşları çokta yorumlamadan yazmış. sonrasında dolaylı tutumun atalarindan olan, büyük taarruzdan ve Atatürk ten hiç bahsetmemiş. Bence bu şekilde bilim adamlığı olmaz ancak siyasetçi olunur. iyi okumalar
