Best book I have read this year
http://www.amazon.com/Warfighting-U-Marine-Corps-Staff/dp/0385478348
You can get it online (latest edition) at http://www.dtic.mil/doctrine/jel/service_pubs/mcdp1.pdf.
Do not let the title make you think that this has no applicability to your business life.
Almost every single thing in the book can be applied to your organization and how you think about the competition.
I read a lot in this space and this is the most concise write-up of all of these principles that I have seen repeated again and again.
I am seriously considering buying the softcover for my entire team at work for Christmas.
I read some pretty good war college papers about the Sino-Indian war.
