'A captain who taught the Generals' is associated with whom ?
Answer: B
The phrase belongs to Liddell Hart.
Captain B.H. Liddell Hart retired from the British Army with the rank of captain, yet his writing on the indirect approach and mechanised warfare shaped the thinking of generals in several countries, including the German panzer commanders. His biography by Brian Bond and many references to him use the description "the captain who teaches generals".
Douhet and Mitchell were air-power advocates who held general's rank, and Mackinder was a geographer, not a soldier, so the description fits none of them.
