Re: Captain Basil Liddell Hart
Quote:"More recently Mearsheimer writes that little of Hart's work was original and that his impact is largely the result of his prolific writings after World War Two, rather than the originality or even importance of his contributions to military strategy prior to that time."
I can agree that Hart's "History of WWII" is not the best.
But reading his works after 1940 Fall of France and Dunquirk...
He could say, point by point - "I told you it."
With his early knowledge of "Overlord",I have a feeling that Hart worked it out himself...
Perhaps he get some little tip. He knew - everyone in the world knew that Invasion is imminent, he knew French Coast perfectly.
Why not? He had enough time to think about it. His bet was right.
Cheers,
