Robert Coram's 2002 biography of Colonel John Boyd — who revolutionized fighter jet design, created the OODA loop, and transformed American military strategy — the most widely read military biography of the contemporary era.
Creates the definitive Boyd biography — Coram's account of Boyd's OODA loop, his F-16 design work, and his influence on maneuver warfare doctrine makes accessible the most influential strategic framework of the late 20th century (observe-orient-decide-act) and restores Boyd's reputation after his deliberate obscurity.
No recorded contemporaries.
