This article as a sort of abridged autobiography is interesting but might have been more so as an opinion piece offering: 1. Specifics as to how Fuller's ideas could have been used to conduct an operational (corp/ sector) offensive in WWI given the actual troop types, training levels and resouces available. 2. Assessment of the chances of success of such an offensive (assuming limited objective of destroying enemy formations). 3. The strategic impact (if any) of a number of such operational successes.

However, whilst JFC Fuller was talking about wars the BEF was winning. Fuller only became famous after the war. Why not concentrate on the men who actually fought and won? He was a man of his times.

He'd rather had the egiptians winning, albeit with tactics not of his own. How´s possible that Boney would have gained satisfaction at israeli victory, granted he was an antisemite?
