Sir John Hart, the father of modern strategy, has classic masterpieces on war strategy, including "Strategy: The Indirect Route", "Beyond the Mountain: Captured German Generals Talk about World War II", "History of the First World War" and "History of the Second World War". "Strategy: The Indirect Route" occupies a lofty position in the study of Western war history and is a must-read for military theory. Because of this book, Liddell Hart was regarded as the "Pope of Military Theory" by the West. In "Strategy: The Indirect Route", Liddell Hart used his profound research foundation in military theory and war history to analyze 30 wars and more than 280 battles in world history from the Greco-Persian War to the Second World War, and came to a conclusion: the indirect route strategy is the most effective and economical strategic form. The route that seems the furthest and most winding is often the real "shortcut". In any competition, you can only win by defeating your opponent. Before overcoming the opponent's resistance, you should first weaken his resistance. The most effective way is to draw him out of your own defense line. This is the essence of the indirect route strategy. Therefore, the "indirect route" is not only a law of war, but also a philosophical truth. In addition to war, it has extensive applications in all aspects of political and economic activities in human life. "Other Side of the Mountain: Captured German Generals Discuss World War II" is a unique history of World War II. Most of it comes from Liddell Hart's interrogation records of senior German generals in Nuremberg. Liddell Hart comprehensively and impartially collected the conversations with German generals such as Blumentritt, Rundstedt, Thoma, Kleist, Heinrich, Manteuffel, and Student, cutting out the redundant and concise, and interspersed his own analysis and conclusions in the account. He made the German generals the narrators of the course of World War II. This is the so-called "other side of the mountain" - referring to the psychology and military policies of the German army in World War II. This book not only records the most direct evidence of World War II, but readers can also feel the real atmosphere at that time and appreciate the details of the successes and failures of the war from the descriptions of the German generals. This book is quite readable and as exciting as "The History of World War II". "History of the First World War" is one of the important masterpieces of the world-famous military historian and modern strategy master Liddell Hart. It details the entire process of the First World War and the application of the strategies and tactics of all parties. In 1914, a gunshot in Sarajevo detonated the whole world. The European powers have fully mobilized and devoted their national efforts to this unprecedented cruel and bloody battle. Thousands of miles of barbed wire trenches became a wrestling ground for the will of the great powers. Millions of soldiers are trying to usher in the dawn of a new world order on muddy battlefields littered with debris and rivers of blood. War disasters spread across Asia, Europe and Africa, with gunfire and smoke, old empires disintegrated one after another, and the power structure in Europe also changed. However, the result of this war, which was claimed to be the end of all wars, turned out to be the next larger-scale world war... The Second World War of "History of World War II" The World War is the largest war in human history. No other war can compare to it in terms of the areas affected by the war, the countries directly or indirectly involved, the loss of life and property, etc. Its impact and impact are comprehensive and far-reaching, and deserve our attention and reflection. Among the works on the history of World War II, Liddell Hart's book is undoubtedly one of the most comprehensive works. The author relied on his personal military experience, rich information documents, and interview records of the parties involved, and spent 22 years to complete this masterpiece. This book contains detailed descriptions of the major and minor battles in World War II that lasted for six years. In addition, the author provides a calm and objective analysis and reflection on this period of history. People often say that "history is a mirror."
