<DIV><b>"The most important book by one of the outstanding military authorities of our time." ? Library Journal</b><br> <br> 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." <i>Strategy </i>is a seminal work of military history and theory, a perfect companion to Sun-tzu’s <i>The Art of War</i> and Carl von Clauswitz’s <i>On War.</i><br><br> 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.</div>
