This two-volume autobiographical work presents a commanding account of B. H. Liddell Hart’s life, military philosophy, and influence on 20th-century strategic thought. As a leading British military theorist and historian, Hart recounts his service in World War I, his postwar intellectual battles, and his role in shaping mechanized warfare doctrine. He argues for the primacy of mobility, psychological impact, and indirect approach in modern strategy, challenging entrenched military orthodoxy with clarity and conviction. The memoirs detail his interactions with key figures such as Churchill, Montgomery, and Rommel, offering firsthand insight into the evolution of British defense policy and the intellectual climate of interwar Europe. Rich in personal reflection and professional critique, this set stands as a foundational text in military history and strategic studies.
