Sir Basil Henry Liddell Hart (31 October 1895 – 29 January 1970), commonly known throughout most of his career as Captain B.
H.
Liddell Hart, was a British soldier, military historian and military theorist.
In the 1920s and later he wrote a series of military histories that proved influential among strategists.
He argued that frontal assault was a strategy that was bound to fail at great cost in lives, as happened in 1914–1918.
He instead recommended the "indirect approach" and reliance on fast-moving armoured formations.
