On War
October 27th, 2004
William Gibson points to the essay series On War, by William S. Lind, which simply must be read.
Who am I? At present, I am a center director at the Free Congress Foundation. But in 1976 I began the debate over maneuver warfare that became a central part of the military reform movement of the 1970s and 1980s. The U.S. Marine Corps finally adopted maneuver warfare as doctrine in the late `80s (I wrote most of their new tactics manual).
(Translation: this guy knows his stuff.)
