Editorial Reviews
Book Description
This is an in-depth analysis of the strategic theories of John Boyd, the leading US strategist.
The book corrects the common misinterpretations of his work, showing how his thinking impacted on US military doctrine and defense policy over the past 25 years. Boyd is important for his introduction of scientific and philosophical developments into a methodology for strategic thinking. This book presents these complex ideas in an enlightening context.
