Basil Liddell Hart

Sir **Basil Henry Liddell Hart** (Paris, 1895eko urriaren 31 &ndash; Marlow, Buckinghamshire, 1970eko urriaren 29a) britainiar militar, historialari militarra eta teoriko militarra izan zen.

Cambridgeko Unibertsitatean ikasi ondoren, britainiar armadan izena eman zuen eta Lehen Mundu Gerran esku hartu zuen. Bere errejimenduarekin Mendebaldeko Frontean egon zen eta Sommeko guduan borrokatu zuen. Hainbat aldiz zauritu zuten gerran.

1927an armadatik erretiratu zen eta bizitza osoa teorikoa eta idazlea izan zen. Kirol berriemailea izan zen *The Morning Post* egunkarirako tenisari buruz. Ondoren, *The Daily Telegraph* (1925-35) eta *The Times* (1935-39) egunkarietako berriemaile militarra izan zen.

Biografia militar batzuk argitaratu zituen, eta bertan argudiatu zuen aurrealdeko erasoa porrotera bideratuta zegoela. Oinezkoak ibilgailu motordunetan garraiatzea ere proposatu zuen. Neville Chamberlainen aholkularia izan zen, baina bere ideiak baztertu egin ziren 1939an alemanek Polonia inbaditu zutenean.

Gerra amaitu ondoren, gerrako preso zeuden jeneral alemanak elkarrizketatu zituen. "Rommelen mitoa"" eta "Wehrmacht garbi" baten ideia zabaltzen lagundu zuen. 1954an bere lanik eraginkorrena argitaratu zuen: *Strategy*.
