Reviews
In this important new book, J. D. Crouch and Patrick Garrity have succeeded in capturing the essence of Bill Rood's thought on strategy without losing its richness. They have embedded his ideas in controversial historical contexts, just as he believed necessary, and have advanced strategic thinking further. Whether you are interested in the man, his ideas, or testing your own analysis, this book will cause you to question received wisdom. This is what Bill Rood most liked to provoke. Rood was Socratic with an edge and a memory. Like Socrates, he had experienced war first hand. For Rood, strategy emerges from wrestling with the complexity and dynamism of real experiences such as those highlighted by Crouch and Garrity., In this important new book, J. D.
