He was a legend in the cockpit and an iconoclast in the halls of power. John Boyd, a fighter pilot who never saw combat, waged a relentless intellectual war against the military establishment he served. His groundbreaking Energy-Maneuverability (E-M) Theory and the legendary "Fighter Mafia" reshaped modern aviation and brought down powerful defense programs.
But his true genius lay in the OODA Loop—a four-step framework for decision-making born from the chaos of a dogfight. This simple but profound concept has transcended the battlefield, becoming a powerful guide for success in business, law enforcement, and personal development.
This book is the story of a brilliant, uncompromising man who dared to think differently, forever changing how we understand conflict, strategy, and the very nature of success.Approx.160 pages, 30500 word count
