Letter from Captain B.H. Liddell Hart to Auchinleck, concerning his dispatch on Operations in the Middle East, 1st November 1941-15th August 1942, published on 13 January 1948 (AUC/1350, below); stating that he was impressed by Auchinleck's 'Appreciation of the Situation' made on 27 July 1942 and printed as an appendix, finding in it the most decisive refutation of the prevalent idea that Auchinleck was still contemplating further retreat when Montgomery took over (an idea which Montgomery himself has fostered), and a manifestation of confidence and a willingness to take the offensive. Typescript, signed.
