Warfighting. The US Marine Corps Book of Strategy
Warfighting. The US Marine Corps Book of Strategy.1994. ISBN 0385478348. Sometimes life is war. Sometimes business is war. And sometimes you need to call in the Marines. A 100 pp primer on manoeuver warfare, what the Marines excel at. A deceptively easy read, with colossal depth and centuries of understanding behind it, that you will first read in an afternoon. Any executive in the technology industry is well advised to read and to study this book. In the past year I have encountered this book being referenced by half a dozen other business writers. Consider that combat = competition, officer = manager, soldier = front line worker, enemy = rival, commander = CEO and this is a modern management handbook. Another keeper.
