Description: Liddell Hart stressed movement, flexibility, and surprise. He saw that in most military campaigns dislocation of the enemy's psychological and physical balance is prelude to victory. This dislocation results from a strategic indirect approach. Reflect for a moment on the results of direct confrontation (trench war in WW I) versus indirect dislocation (Blitzkrieg in WW II). Liddell Hart is also tonic for business and political planning: just change the vocabulary and his concepts fit.
Notes: First published in 1929 under title: The decisive wars of history.
