Wilkinson was very well connected to key figures in politics and in the armed forces as he journalist and had long hoped for an academic appointment, as his interests increasingly turned toward historical study. He was elected the first Chichele Professor of Military History in the University of Oxford and Fellow of All Souls College in 1909. During World War I he became—like Clausewitz's foremost German proponent at the time, Hans Delbrück--an energetic critic of his nation's counterproductive strategy and policy. He remained an influential voice in Britain until his death in 1937. CONDITION In a red cloth binding with gilt title detail to spine. Externally generally sound, with bumping to extremities, a little loss of cloth at the head and tail, and discolouration to the spine. The hinges are slightly strained. Internally binding is strained in places. Pages are generally bright and clean with light foxing to endpapers, and a small closed tear to the top right corner of the front free endpaper.
