The John Boyd Library
When I was writing mydissertation on how to apply John Boyd's thinking to the problem of counter-insurgency, a most valuable resource was theDefense in theNational Interest website maintained by his friend and acolyte, ChesterRichards. Alas, weeks before I submitted the paper, Chet decided to abandonthe website, and he invited anyone who cared to download the materialsthere. I did so for all the documents in my bibliography. To these I have added other available books and monographs by and about John Boyd. Blue skies! -- Daniel FordA Discourse on Winning and Losing
TheDiscourse is a spiral-bound document, dated 1987 but probably assembled in 1992. I got my copy from the curators of the Boyd Papers atthe U.S. Marine Corps Archives at Quantico, Virginia, where I spent a fascinating week mining the thoughts of this self-taught strategic genius.TheDiscourse contains four sets of briefing slides, plus his monograph entitledDestruction and Creation, in this order:
Conceptual Spiral (1992)
Patterns of Conflict (1986)
Organic Design for Command and Control (1987)
The Strategic Game of ? and ? (1987)
Destruction and Creation (1976)
Patterns of Conflict (1986)
Organic Design for Command and Control (1987)
The Strategic Game of ? and ? (1987)
Destruction and Creation (1976)
