| Abstract |
|
While Boyd’s initial focus was a 193 slide summation of military history in the “Patterns of Conflict” brief, his effort soon expanded dramatically. As he read, he thought, and as he thought, he tried to explain the con- nections, the anomalies, the advantages, and limita- tions of various forms, styles, and strategies of military conflict. His insights led him to introduce the theory of maneuver warfare as critical to military success in general as it had been for successful air-to-air tactics where his intellectual journey began. |
