A book that I hesitated for a long time to dig into, but once I started it was difficult to put down.

I wanted to learn more about the man behind the OODA loop. This term is frequently used in self defense classes and "getting inside his/their loop" has become common language in today's military and business alike.

You will not only learn the background of this concept, but you will learn much about an eccentric and brilliant man who made an incredible contribution to our society. It will be another generation before his concepts are fully appreciated and I believe his fame and recognition will only increase with time.

Robert Coram does a fantastic job revealing the man behind the legend, including his many flaws. Unfortunately he comes across, at least to me, as someone who "drank the cool aid" a little too much during his research for this book.

Well worth the purchase price. A great book! Because of the wide range of applications possible for Boyd's theories, many can find something of interest in this book.
