Warfighting is an authentic American philosophy of
action that will thrill the millions of fans of SunTzu''s The Art
of War and Musashi''s T he Book of Five Rings. This
modern classic of strategy and philosophy is the quintessential
guide to prevailing in competitive situations, be it war, work,
play, or daily living.
Sometimes life is war and sometimes business is war and
sometimes you need to call in the Marines. Over the past two
hundred years, the Marines have developed a reputation for getting
the job done-fearlessly, boldly, and taking no prisoners. What
better role model for the hidden warriors in ourselves? What better
advice to call on when the stakes are high and sensitivity just
isn''t going to work? Written in 1989 as a philosophical and
strategic guide-book for the US. Marine Corps, Warfighting
is a worthy successor to SunTzu''s The Art Of War. With
clarity, brevity, and wisdom, it describes the basic forces at work
in every competitive situation whether on the field of battle, in
the boardroom, or in the courtroom. With twentieth-century
technology and its emphasis on speed and versatility, the rules of
war and competition have changed. Warfighting''s exploration
of maneuver warfare takes readers beyond Sun Tzu''s classic lessons
and provides them a more thorough understanding of what it takes to
fight and win in the modern world. Currency''s edition of
Warfighting features interviews with famous former Marines
including F. Lee Bailey, Ed McMahon, and Donald Regan. They tell
how they have used the Marine Corps'' battle strategies of strength
and straightforwardness as their secret weapons in every
confrontation, whether at a corporate, departmental. or personal
level.
