Thanks for the comments on the John Boyd dissertation. I now have a more or less complete draft, but I probably won’t put it online until I’ve had a chance to look it over. I’d be glad of your comments. You can find my email address here. If you send me a note, I’ll send you a plain-text version of it.

By the way, Bill Lind (one of Boyd’s acolytes) has published a draft of his counterinsurgency manual. It’s slyly called FMFM 3-25 and is posted here. I’ll probably be working his thoughts into my thesis. Blue skies! — Dan Ford

(I am a late-blooming student in War Studies at King’s College London. My classmates were mostly majors in the British Army, with a sprinkling from other services and some civilians from around the world. Thus the dissertation, 55 years after I got my B.A.)
