The Strategy Bridge discussion

Hey everyone! I know that we all have busy lives and avid interest in this stuff. Would anyone be interested in picking a book or two a quarter and discussing them? Or perhaps we could each recommend a book that we truly enjoyed to share with everyone else.

I’d be interested in finding out what folks are reading that doesn’t end up recycled on the standard reading lists.

Think this is a great idea, would love to see more of the group take an interest. Maybe if we build it, they will come. Might be hard to pick a book that most of us haven't read already though?

What about a book, read this year, that has expanded or altered your thinking about strategy?

I offer BJ Armstrong’s Small Boats and Daring Men. Maritime raiding offers a value proposition to consider in support of future of Navy seapower - for both the Marines and Naval Special Warfare.

Haven't got to it yet, but it's on the to-read list. I think I'd have to say for me this year, that would be J.C. Sharman's "Empires of the Weak: The Real Story of European Expansion and the Creation of the New World Order." Changed the way I looked at the early modern era and how I conceived of the mercantilist pseudo-state/corporations that formed the modern world.
