War and Policy

Army experts and students of military history often describe Major General J.F.C. Fuller as “the Clausewitz of the twentieth century.” For over thirty years he has been writing book after book on the conduct of war. His volumes, translated in almost all languages of the free world, not only cover the history of warfare, from Alexander of Macedon to Mac-Arthur; he is also the author of a handbook on the tactics and strategy of tank warfare, a study of Western civilization, and a biography of Ulysses S. Grant. Fuller saw action as a lieutenant in the Boer War; he fought throughout World War I in France and “retired” into the writing business in 1930.
