A Concise Account of All the Major Battles, Innovations, and
Political Events of the First World War by an Important Military
Analyst
Praise for the Original Edition: "With the lucidity and literary
skill we have come to expect in his work, the author has written
not only a concise history of the fighting on land and sea but a
frank criticism of the 1914-18 military mind."--"New York
Times"
"The best brief history of the war in both its political and
military aspects. Well proportioned and well knit."--"Foreign
Affairs "
"Liddell Hart's style is brilliant, and the whole narrative is
fascinating even to one familiar with the whole dreadful story.
Indeed, the sweep of the presentation may well be the envy of
novelists."--"Nation"
An abridgement of the author's "History of the World War,
1914-1918," and first published in 1936, "World War I in Outline"
is a compact but comprehensive history of the "war to end all
wars." Divided into five parts representing each year of the war,
Liddell Hart discusses the war on land, at sea, and in the air
while skillfully incorporating the political events occurring at
the same time. From his own experiences in the war and through
studying the conflict in detail, the author developed and expressed
his most important observation about military principles: direct
attacks against an enemy firmly in position should not be
attempted. He also put forth the notion that battles are more often
decided by the commander's actions and not the armies themselves. A
lively and engrossing read, "World War I in Outline" is an ideal
overview in time for the centennial of one of the major wars in
history.
