In this ground-breaking study, Dr Azar Gat investigates the fascist background behind the ideas of the leading theorists of mechanized war in the first half of this century. He re-evaluates the contribution of B.Liddell Hart, presenting him as the pioneer of the modern western liberal way in warfare, a man who developed the theory of the tactical 'cold war' in the decade before nuclear weapons became a military reality.

This scholarly and original study of military thought during the nineteenth century focuses on the wider conceptions of war, strategy, and military theory which dominated the West in this period.

In this meticulously researched book, Azar Gat overturns recent historiographical trends in the study of British and German armour developments between the two world wars. He dispels some of the serious allegations levelled against leading British armour theorist B.H. Liddell Hart, placing his ideas in their proper relation to those of other leading British theorists and to the practice of British armour formations during that period. Again reversing recent revisionist literature, Professor Gat then shows how decisively the creators of the German Panzer arm were influenced by British theory and practice. Utilizing hitherto untapped German sources, he traces the ideas and dynamics that made possible Germany's Blitzkrieg victories in the opening stage of World War II.
