Maneuver Warfare Handbook (Westview Special Studies in Military Affairs)
by William S. Lind
Book Description: Maneuver warfare, often controversial and requiring operational and tactical innovation, poses perhaps the most important doctrinal questions currently facing the conventional military forces of the U.S. Its purpose is to defeat the enemy by disrupting the opponent's ability to react, rather than by physical destruction of forces. This book develops and explains the theory of maneuver warfare and offers specific tactical, operational, and organizational recommendations for improving ground combat forces. The authors translate concepts-too often vaguely stated by manuever warfare advocates-into concrete doctrine. Although the book uses the Marine Corps as a model, the concepts, tactics, and doctrine discussed apply to any ground combat force.

Strategy
Basil Henry Liddell Hart
Book Description: This is the classic book on war as we know it. During his long life, Basil H. Liddell Hart was considered one of the world's foremost military thinkers--a man generally regarded as the "Clausewitz of the 20th century." 

Liddell Hart stressed movement, flexibilty, surprise. He saw that in most military campaigns dislocation of the enemy's psychological and physical balance is prelude to victory. This dislocation results from a strategic indirect approach. Reflect for a moment on the results of direct confrontation (trench war in WW I) versus indirect dislocation (Blitzkreig in WW II). Liddell Hart is also tonic for business and political planning: just change the vocabulary and his concepts fit. 

"The most important book by one of the outstanding military authorities of our time." (Library Journal)

The Tiger's Way: A U.S. Private's Best Chance for Survival
The Tiger's Way: A U.S. Private's Best Chance for Survival
by H. J. Poole, Edward Molina
Book Description: The Tiger's Way: A U.S. Private’s Best Chance for Survival describes how U.S. military and police personnel can better accomplish their missions. While U.S. ground forces have been struggling to master the latest technology, Eastern armies have been evolving tactically. As Western weapon systems have grown more lethal, Eastern armies have turned to tiny, surprise-oriented maneuver elements. Most now prepare their lowest ranks for both conventional and unconventional warfare. Until the U.S. military follows suit, its nonrates will have less field skill, initiative, and tactical-decision-making experience than their Eastern counterparts (be at a decided disadvantage in any one-on-one encounter). That means U.S. enlistees will die unnecessarily every time their firepower fails. It also means that their commanders will have trouble winning any guerrilla, terrorist, or "4th generation" war. The Tiger's Way shows how U.S. military and police units can acquire commensurate short-range proficiency without disrupting their busy schedules. American fire teams, buddy teams, and privates have only to identify and correct their own deficiencies. This book has something that no other does—a comprehensive list of ninjutsu approach, penetration, and escape techniques. It will have a profound effect on how foreign war and homeland security are conducted in the future.
