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.

A Amazing Story That Is A Must Read!!!!!!By LilbitI haven't finished a book in a few days in a very long time. My aunt and I are always sharing great reads so when she told me to read it; I never thought about reading the synopsis to see what this story was about. I just knew that we would discuss it along the way. When I first began reading this book; I had no idea it would have lead down the path of the civil rights movement; because in the beginning I was just thought it was a hilarious book about someone's childhood. I loved the way this story was written because it reminded me of what it must have been like when my mother was growing up. Soon I realized that it was no longer a funny story; but an unbelievable; well written; detailed story of Anne's life. Yes I know of the struggles that have been documented; details of some of the well known key players in the struggle; and much more; but for the first time; I felt like there was a personal connection between her story and everyday people like my family. As I continued reading; I began to have more and more questions that I needed answers to. It was great to hear the voice of someone who was not known world wide because readers like myself could make personal connection with this story that one wouldn't necessarily make with some of the more popular well-known people.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
