Seller's Description:
Good in Good jacket. Xiiim [1], 314, [12] pages. Illustrations. Sources. Books published by Manor-General Fuller. Glossary of Abbreviations. Index. DJ has some wear and soiling and is taped around the boards. This was first published in 1977 by Rutgers University Press. This is one of the Great War Stories series. Anthony John Trythall was a British military officer, educator, and author. Trythall was a former director of army education who also headed Brassey's Defence Publishers. Educated at St. Edmund Hall, Oxford, where he completed a history degree in 1947, he did his compulsory National Service the next year. He returned to the military in 1953. Specializing as an educationist, he pursued a long career in officer education. Receiving a master's degree in education from the University of London in 1969, from that year until 1971 he was education advisor to the Regular Commissions Board. This was followed by assignments as chief inspector of army education and work as chief education officer for the United Kingdom Land Forces from 1976 to 1980. That year, Trythall was named director of army education. He retired from this job in 1984. Trythall had the opportunity to head the military's publishing house, Brassey's. He was credited with turning the publisher around, spurring it on to release many respected publications. He was managing director from 1984 to 1987, director of Brassey's (U.K. ) from 1984 to 1997 and of Brassey's (U.S. ) from 1987 to 1995. Trythall was the author of Boney Fuller, The Downfall of Leslie Hore-Belisha, and J. F. C. Fuller: Staff Officer Extraordinary in the British General Staff. Major-General John Frederick Charles "Boney" Fuller CB CBE DSO (1 September 1878-10 February 1966) was a senior British Army officer, military historian, and strategist, notable as an early theorist of modern armored warfare, including categorizing principles of warfare. With 45 books and many articles, he was a highly prolific author whose ideas reached army officers and the interested public. He explored the business of fighting, in terms of the relationship between warfare and social, political, and economic factors in the civilian sector. Fuller emphasized the potential of new weapons, especially tanks and aircraft, to stun a surprised enemy psychologically. Fuller was commissioned into the 1st Battalion of the Oxfordshire Light Infantry (the old 43rd Foot), and served in South Africa from 1899 to 1902. In the spring of 1904 Fuller was sent with his unit to India, where he contracted typhoid fever in autumn of 1905; he returned to England the next year on sick-leave, where he met the woman he married in December 1906. Instead of returning to India, he was reassigned to Volunteer units in England, serving as adjutant to the 2nd South Middlesex Volunteers (amalgamated into the Kensingtons during the Haldane Reforms) and helping to form the new 10th Middlesex. Fuller later claimed that his position with the 10th Middlesex inspired him to study soldiering seriously. In 1913 he was accepted into the Staff College, Camberley, starting work there in January 1914. During the First World War, Fuller was a staff officer with the Home Forces and with VII Corps in France, and from 1916 in the Headquarters of the Machine-Gun Corps' Heavy Branch which was later to become the Tank Corps. He helped plan the tank attack at the 20 November 1917 Battle of Cambrai and the tank operations for the Autumn offensives of 1918. His Plan 1919 for a fully mechanized offensive against the German army was never implemented. After 1918 he held various leading positions, notably as a commander of an experimental brigade at Aldershot. After the war Fuller collaborated with his junior B. H. Liddell Hart in developing new ideas for the mechanization of armies, launching a crusade for the mechanization and modernization of the British Army. Chief instructor of Camberley Staff College from 1923, he became military assistant to the chief of the...
