description: Book Summary of Maneuver Warfare Handbook Despite of all the attention, maneuver warfare remains a subject of much confusion. Some say, "It's just a fancy new name for what we've always done." Others call it "common sense tactics", as if all it requires is a bit of common sense. Maneuver warfare can be thought of as military judo. It is way of fighting smart, of out-thinking an opponent you may not be able to overpower with brute strength. As such, it offers a fighting soldier the best hope of winning battles, campaigns and wars they may face in the future. In this handbook Bill Lind lays out the concept of maneuver warfare in clear, understandably language, and he supports and illustrates his theories with excellent historical examples. What he has produced is a text book on how to conduct warfare, and it calls for a totally different approach than what he has produced is a text book on how to conduct warfare, and it calls for a totally different approach than what is taught in warfare colleges today. Yet it is not more than a compilation of theories proven on a hundred battlefields throughout history. This book is about combat, and how to win in combat. That is what maneuver warfare is about.
