This PDF contains the bulk of the works of one of the most important war theorists in living memory, John Boyd.
Not only did he revolutionize air combat, invent tools like the OODA loop, and bring together ancient war wisdom and contemporary operational thinking, but his focus on fighting without conventional command structures, the social base of guerrilla war, and the ways a smaller force can defeat a larger more mighty one make his writing full of useful ideas for those coming up against the formal enforcers of the ruling order.
He pulls wisdom from past and present that provide insight that is useful even beyond the battlespace and applicable to innumerable scenarios.
