Thinking tactically is the key to gaining a fully four-dimensional understanding of the challenges facing you, and overcoming them - whatever they may be. The tactical level is where the rubber meets the road and elaborate plans are often necessarily discarded in favor of brutal realism, cunning, ruthless leverage of any and all assets on the battlefield, and a visceral grasp of the realities of victory - or defeat.

Tactics is an art and a science, and none can teach it better than the United States Army, whose personnel daily experience the knife-edge possibilities of tremendous success or terrible failure and who must therefore train to be the fittest, best-equipped tacticians in the fight.

Whatever your role, whatever your organization - using this fascinating and revealing book to train yourself to think tactically will pay dividends when you next find yourself in a conflict, whether it is a battle of wills, words, or weapons.
