Title: Another Flawed Genius
Review: If you've never heard of Boyd, this is a great introduction, and as other reviewers have suggested, I hope there will be more. Not more about his personal life because that was a failure and well documented in this book. But more about his brilliance as an analyst of combat tactics and his mathematical theories of warfare. Did his theories change the world? Apparently not. Look where the U.S. is now in the Middle East. But for at time, yes, Boyd the flawed man made a difference. And that's what this book is all about--how Boyd made a difference in his time and against all odds. If you're not already angry at the way Congress and the Pentagon do business, this will certainly light your fire.
