About this book

Paris is by Basil Henry Liddell Hart. The text says the normal man, immediately he recognizes a stronger, directly he realizes the hopelessness of overcoming his enemy, always yields. A myth is said to have been exposed by the long-dead Ardant du Picq, that French soldier-realist who refused to bow before the altar of the martial tradition. The text says no war between civilized people has been carried, nor anywhere near carried, to the point of extermination.

The text says the tank is not yet perfect, being only as old as the automobile of 1902 or the aeroplane of 1910, but combines in itself the three essential elements of warfare, hitting power, protection, and mobility. The text says that after Achilles had slain Hector in direct combat, Paris brought stratagem to bear, and his arrow, guided by Apollo, struck Achilles in his vulnerable heel.
