Debating Science, Strategy, and War
by tdaxp ~ September 22nd, 2008
The news is on HG’s world, Wizards of Oz, zenpundit’s blog, and it’s great: Nimble Books has now released The John Boyd Roundtable:Debating Science, Strategy, and War. Nimble previously published Revolutionary Strategies in Early Christianity, which was based on my series Jesusism-Paulism: The Revolution of Early Christianity.
The John Boyd Roundtable would not have been possible without Mark Safranski as the editor, or Chet Richard’s organization of last year’s conference on John Boyd in Quantico, Virginia. Likewise, the new book is in debt to Frans Osinga, who not only wrote a chapter of this next but also previously published a book-length text, Science, Strategy, and War: The Strategic Theory of John Boyd. And of course, W.F. “Fred” Zimmerman of Nimble Books.
I am also proud that my chapter, “A History of the OODA Loop,” made the cut, and begins on Page 1.

Oh man…I just remembered a book review post that I forgot to actually write. Dang my working memory! I need to extend GTD to my non-work life too.

Congrats TDAXP!
I look forward to spending my winter break trying to consume the information in this book. (Unless you can think of a better way of getting books here in Africa)

Jay, Purpleslog, & Glenn,
Thanks!
I have a reflection on the OODA loop, in the context of the quantitative revolution, up. [1] It is a very rich topic, and very fun to think about!
