The principal posthumous biography of Liddell Hart, Alex Danchev's Alchemist of War: The Life of Basil Liddell Hart, written with the cooperation of Liddell Hart's widow. It reveals, for example, that Liddell Hart connived at the planting of an endorsement of his own work in the English-language version of Panzer Leader, the autobiography of Heinz Guderian.
Brian Bond wrote Liddell Hart: a study of his military thought (Cassell, 1977; Rutgers University Press, 1977), which found that Liddell Hart had an influence on generals Blomberg and Reichenau in the early 1930s. Bond also outlined Liddell Hart's influence on certain generals in the Israel Defense Forces' campaigns of 1956 and 1967.
