Excerpted because (a) the original author deserves an accurate hit-count, and (b) the author does a good job on the intro.

Great book. Highly recommended.
Boyd was not a nice guy, but he was brilliant.

There were more Marine Officers at Boyd’s funeral than Air Force Officers. I always wonder about the theory he was working on when he died.

I just re-read the biography “Boyd”, as I do about every couple of years. He was, in my opinion, one of the smartest Americans in our history.
