Boyd: The Fighter Pilot Who Changed the Art of War, by Robert Coram

5.0

This book is one of the most fascinating books I have read. If the book is accurate John Boyd is an American Hero. Even though the book does not go into his family life in great detail it shows you enough to see that this man that was loved dearly by his friends was not so loved by his family. Unfortunately, his anger and rage would not allow him to show the same love for his wife, sons and daughters that he showed for his friends. His anger also hindered him from becoming one of the greatest generals every. The one battle he never one was to overcome himself and figure out a way to work with people that where not up to his standards. If he choose to he would have been able to accomplish much more than he did. The book is not that well written but the story and the character make it a great read.
