Captain Liddell Hart has concentrated his learning in the history of modern warfare and his reflections upon its tendencies. Total war, in the authors words, is 'the combination of an unlimited aim with an unlimited method'. He hopes for a 'revival of reason, sufficient to produce self-control in war, if not the abolition of war'.
