This classic book on strategy by one of the foremost Military thinkers of the twentieth century, STRATEGY : The Indirect Approach draws on all of military history, from the Greek-Persian Wars of the fifth century B.C. to the development of guerrilla Warfare in the Nuclear age. Liddell Hart provides a perceptive and fascinating examination of wars and their architects. He shows how Hitler almost won, and ultimately lost, World War II, and defines practical principles - "Adjust your ends to your means," "Take a line of operation which offers alternate objectives" - that are as fundamental in worlds of Politics and Business as they are in warfare.
