The ideas of US Air Force Colonel John Boyd have transformed

American military policy and practice. A first-rate fighter pilot

and a self-taught scholar, he wrote the first manual on jet aerial

combat; spearheaded the design of both of the Air Force's premier

fighters, the F-15 and the F-16; and shaped the tactics that saved

lives during the Vietnam War and the strategies that won the Gulf

War. Many of America's best-known military and political leaders

consulted Boyd on matters of technology, strategy, and

theory.

In The Mind of War, Grant T. Hammond offers the first complete

portrait of John Boyd, his groundbreaking ideas, and his enduring

legacy. Based on extensive interviews with Boyd and those who knew

him as well as on a close analysis of Boyd's briefings, this

intellectual biography brings the work of an extraordinary thinker

to a broader public.

“John Boyd was a remarkable patriot whose intense commitment to

learning and teaching the lessons of history changed American

military doctrine and made Desert Storm possible. This study is an

invaluable contribution to a little known part of our military

history.”—Newt Gingrich, former speaker of the US House of

Representatives

“John Boyd was one of the greatest military and strategic thinkers

of our time. His story and his brilliance are superbly captured in

Grant Hammond’s excellent book. This is a must read for all those

who want to understand how to think about war and to learn about a

true American hero.”—General Anthony C. Zinni, USMC, former

commander of CENTCOM

“One of the most important books on airpower theory, strategy,

technology, organization, and history to come out this year is

Grant Hammond’s biography of Col. John Boyd, USAF. Appropriately,

it is larger than life – Boyd’s life – for the United States Air

Force of today reflects the impact of many of Boyd’s ideas.” –

Aerospace Power Journal

“This book is exceptionally relevant conceptually to… ‘fighting’

a global ‘war’ on terrorism using military resources… John Boyd’s

lifelong dedication helps us learn to successfully observe, assess,

decide, and act before, during, and after we have been challenged

or surprised.” – Journal of Contemporary Security Policy
