Lutz Unterseher Books

This study is dedicated to the person and work of Basil Henry Liddell Hart, once considered the world's most distinguished military historian and theorist. The focus is on the systematic criticism voiced of his thinking and activities by scholars on both sides of the Atlantic: critical positions that - to a considerable extent - have seriously damaged Liddell Hart's reputation. By drawing on general military theory as well as biographical details, Unterseher succeeds in rendering the theorist's concepts better understandable, in relevant cases even justifying them.

If Ukraine survives the war as a viable entity, its security will remain precarious. This makes it important to work on a solution for the military protection of Ukraine that does not exacerbate the situation, but contributes to easing tensions, is militarily credible and does not place an unacceptable burden on the country's scarce resources. This volume analyses the parties to the conflict and traces the course of the war. Against this background, a proposal for a Confidence-Building Defence is outlined in considerable detail: including intellectual and historical roots, as well as a discussion of organisational and technological feasibity. The study is intended as a stimulus for all those concerned with the future military security of Ukraine.

The book examines the motivations and dynamics of Europe's power elites leading up to the war, highlighting their aggressive ambitions and the resulting catastrophic events. It focuses on the harrowing experiences of trench warfare and the evolution of combat strategies, while also addressing the profound psychological impact on soldiers, as shown through war neuroses and literature. Additionally, it explores the enduring political ramifications of the conflict, emphasizing how the consequences continue to affect humanity today.
