Boyd: The Fighter Pilot Who Changed the Art of War
ISBN: 9780316881463 / Angielski / Twarda / 2002 / 496 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. John Boyd may be the most remarkable unsung hero in all of American military history.

With a flawless ear and an unblinking eye, Coram escorts us across a unique landscape, capturing the nuances of life in a small southern town during the 1950s, not by writing of the romantic south, but rather of a south that can be narrow and harsh and brutal. He takes on the big issues: race, religion, love, death, and family values. His coming-of-age... No part of America scars its children as does the south.

Yet perhaps all of his accomplishments pale in comparison to what he did after World War II and again after Korea: Krulak almost...
