Warfighting is an authenticAmerican philosophy of action that will thrill themillions of fans of SunTzu's The Art ofWar and Musashi's T he Book ofFive Rings. This modern classic ofstrategy and philosophy is the quintessential guide toprevailing in competitive situations, be it war,work, play, or dailyliving.

Sometimes life is war and sometimes businessis war and sometimes you need to call in theMarines. Over the past two hundred years, the Marineshave developed a reputation for getting the jobdone-fearlessly, boldly, and taking no prisoners.

What better role model for the hidden warriors inourselves? What better advice to call on when thestakes are high and sensitivity just isn't goingto work? Written in 1989 as a philosophical andstrategic guide-book for the US. Marine Corps,Warfighting is a worthy successorto SunTzu's The Art Of War.

With clarity, brevity, and wisdom, it describes thebasic forces at work in every competitive situationwhether on the field of battle, in the boardroom,or in the courtroom. With twentieth-centurytechnology and its emphasis on speed and versatility,the rules of war and competition have changed.

Currency's edition ofWarfighting features interviews with famousformer Marines including F. Lee Bailey, Ed McMahon,and Donald Regan. They tell how they have used theMarine Corps' battle strategies of strength andstraightforwardness as their secret weapons in everyconfrontation, whether at a corporate,departmental. or personal level.
