Warfighting is an authenticnbsp;nbsp;American philosophy of action that will thrill thenbsp;nbsp;millions of fans of SunTzu's The Art ofnbsp;nbsp;War and Musashi's T he Book ofnbsp;nbsp;Five Rings. This modern classic ofnbsp;nbsp;strategy and philosophy is the quintessential guide tonbsp;nbsp;prevailing in competitive situations, be it war,nbsp;nbsp;work, play, or dailynbsp;nbsp;living. Sometimes life is war and sometimes businessnbsp;nbsp;is war and sometimes you need to call in thenbsp;nbsp;Marines. Over the past two hundred years, the Marinesnbsp;nbsp;have developed a reputation for getting the jobnbsp;nbsp;done-fearlessly, boldly, and taking no prisoners.nbsp;nbsp;What better role model for the hidden warriors innbsp;nbsp;ourselves? What better advice to call on when thenbsp;nbsp;stakes are high and sensitivity just isn't goingnbsp;nbsp;to work? Written in 1989 as a philosophical andnbsp;nbsp;strategic guide-book for the US. Marine Corps,nbsp;nbsp;Warfighting is a worthy successornbsp;nbsp;to SunTzu's The Art Of War.nbsp;nbsp;With clarity, brevity, and wisdom, it describes thenbsp;nbsp;basic forces at work in every competitive situationnbsp;nbsp;whether on the field of battle, in the boardroom,nbsp;nbsp;or in the courtroom. With twentieth-centurynbsp;nbsp;technology and its emphasis on speed and versatility,nbsp;nbsp;the rules of war and competition have changed.nbsp;nbsp;Warfighting's exploration ofnbsp;nbsp;maneuver warfare takes readers beyond Sun Tzu's classicnbsp;nbsp;lessons and provides them a more thoroughnbsp;nbsp;understanding of what it takes to fight and win in thenbsp;nbsp;modern world. Currency's edition ofnbsp;nbsp;Warfighting features interviews with famousnbsp;nbsp;former Marines including F. Lee Bailey, Ed McMahon,nbsp;nbsp;and Donald Regan.
