Strategy

Captain Hart describes in lucid terms the theory of indirect approach with relevant examples. I purchased from Cloudtail India. Book printed in the USA, best quality-no flimsy pages or bad printing as reported by a few other buyers.

nice book

Printing and paper are a complete turn off. Content is good in parts

Full of practical advice, and far more useful that Lao Tse, who is so commonly cited.Liddel Hart gives practical illustrations and examples of his theories in action, and I found them far more applicable in the real world.

The book is a classic in military literature. The author is a real solder intellectual. Also a good read for business and political strategists.

I bet you're looking to be strategic-you know, trying to get an edge on your competition. But you're tired of all the "business gurus" telling you what to do and buy their products, otherwise you'll fail. Well, if you're thinking like that, then this book might be just for you.This is a straight up old military book. The Marines read this, World War II generals like Rommel (aka The Desert Fox) applied it. But this book isn't only meant for military personnel but for everybody wanting to accomplish their personal mission-should they choose to accept.The military concept of indirectness is what this book is based on and it can be used in a number of non-military situations. It can be used in arguments, business, sports, arm wrestling etc. When you read the book, you will be amazed how simple the indirect concept is, but yet how powerful it is. Every successful businessman and general haves used the concept of indirectness in one way or another.Although I spilled the beans of this book, you should read it for not only understanding the concept, but knowing how to use it and when. Reading this book for me elevated my dating game. If it could help me with such a disastrous task, I'm sure it can help you in whatever field you're trying to dominate.Plus, the best part about reading this book is that most people will have never heard of it, let alone read it. So why not give yourself that competitive edge you were looking for. I'm not saying you will be a tactical genius like Sun Tzu, but more like Jeff Bezos of Amazon.So what are you waiting for, get this book and conquer the world.

Brilliant book. Very insightful and thought provoking. (I like it how he disagrees with some of Carl von Clausewitz's ideas).

A must have classic! Very interesting and informative, still a little dated opus on the very roots of strategy. A pity this book hasn't an italian traduction yet.
