內容簡介：
The ideas of US Air Force Colonel John Boyd have transformed
American military policy and practice. A first-rate fighter pilot
and a self-taught scholar, he wrote the first manual on jet aerial
combat; spearheaded the design of both of the Air Force''s premier
fighters, the F-15 and the F-16; and shaped the tactics that saved
lives during the Vietnam War and the strategies that won the Gulf
War. Many of America''s best-known military and political leaders
consulted Boyd on matters of technology, strategy, and
theory.
In The Mind of War, Grant T. Hammond offers the first complete
portrait of John Boyd, his groundbreaking ideas, and his enduring
legacy. Based on extensive interviews with Boyd and those who knew
him as well as on a close analysis of Boyd''s briefings, this
intellectual biography brings the work of an extraordinary thinker
to a broader public.
