Abstract

B.H. Liddell Hart served as a British infantry officer on the Western Front in 1915 and 1916 until he was gassed during the Somme Offensive. He is best known for his military historical and theoretical writing which contributed to a more critical evaluation of the war in the interwar period. This encyclopaedia entry summarizes his career and emphasizes the points most relevant to the writing of the history of the First World War.
