Rambling Strategy
Format: Kindle
A man rambles long enough to justify a “full” book- In reality the same theory is repeated over and over Bottom line - Strategy is the way to accomplish political goals - it has been that way in the past and nothing will change - that’s the whole book I am not sure why General Mattis includes this on his reading list - it is def one of the weaker recommndations

Reading only because of the theorist
Format: Kindle
Essential only to understand the broader thoughts of Gray. Leaves ample space for further debate on strategy and its implications.
