The Life of John Frederick Charles Fuller

British general, military theorist, one of the founders of the theory of mechanized warfare. Born in Chichester. He entered service in 1899 and fought in the Anglo-Boer War.

During the First World War, he served as Chief of Staff of the Tank Army. He became a brigade commander in 1929 and was promoted to major general the following year. Since then, he has been engaged in military history research and military theory writings.

He fiercely attacked the old-fashioned military thinking and tradition in the First World War, and creatively put forward a set of theories for preparing and conducting war in the era of machinery industry with the enemy's strategic paralysis caused by the deep breakthrough of the armored forces as the core, and profoundly influenced and acted on the Second World War. In addition, with his profound philosophical background, he conducted in-depth research on military affairs as a unity of art and science, and made epoch-making contributions to military theory and history.

Today, we have the impression that Fritz Chrysler (1875-1962) is an old artist with gray hair, a beard and a dignified color. However, in the heyday of his playing, he was a superstar in the world's attention, and a Chrysler solo was nothing short of a grand event. Like comedy star Chaplin and magician Hodini, Chrysler is a legendary figure in the public eye.

No wonder Bruno Walter said, "Chrysler is not playing the violin, he is simply the embodiment of the violin." ”

Fuller was nicknamed "bony" not only because of his thin build, but also because of his domineering personality. He was a brilliant tactical strategic thinker, and his theories, especially the theory of mobile armored warfare, influenced much of the military leaders of Europe at the time. He was an unusual military man, extremely intelligent and outspoken; He was also a creative thinker in the truest sense of the word, leaving behind works that were preserved for him by Lidel Hart, which are still very influential to this day.

Although Fuller's emphasis on the importance of breakthrough warfare and the development of the potential capabilities of armored forces is still of great value, Fuller's art of war is less universal than the theories of military theorists such as Carl von Clausewitz, Anton Henri Jomini, and Sun Tzu.

By copying the development of armored warfare as well as the forward-looking theory of bai, John Fullouler established for himself.

Zhi the position of the chief military theorist of the 20th century, DAO. His writings include questions about the tactical, political, and social aspects of warfare, as well as military history, which have had a profound impact on military leaders in World War II and the post-war period.
