Warfighting

The United States Marine Corps is the largest such force on the planet, and yet it is the smallest, most elite section of the U.S. military, one with a long and storied history. Here, in the most current version of the "Warfighting" manual used by the Corps itself, is an explanation of the philosophy that makes the Marine Corps unique. Warfighting covers the concepts and values behind how the Corps fights. Topics discussed include the definition of war, the science of war, the dynamics of war, styles of warfare, war as an act o policy, the philosophy of command, and more. Military buffs, war-gamers, and anyone seeking to understand the increasingly complicated global stage will find this a fascinating and informative document. Warfighting presents this philosophy for all Marines from the commandant to the lowest private in a clear and concise manner. All Marines are expected to read, and apply, this book. If you're into winning any sort of competition, not just warfare, Warfighting is an excellent book to read, concise and to the point. You can read it in a few hours and be forever changed by it.
