Title: A Serious Distortion of Military and Aviation History
Review: John Boyd was undoubtedly a fine fighter pilot, but to claim, as this author does--and on the flimsiest possible information--that he "transformed war" borders on the absurd. Far from being a good role model, Boyd was an individual who pitted people against one another to achieve his own ends, who was so convinced of his own opinions that he was intolerant of others, and who, ultimately, nearly destroyed his own family as well as his career. This book is a pathetic attempt by the discredited losers of the so-called "Defense Reform" community to attempt to assert their place in history. There are far more reliable works than this that talk about Air Force transformation, for example Benjamin Lambeth's The Transformation of American Air Power. Save your money and buy it instead of this drivel.
