The best of what I read (or watched) in the past week
In Successors to the Western Front, Ben Duval reminded me that many of the conflicts that followed in the wake of the Great War of 1914-1918 provided opportunities for operational maneuver.
In Observations on 9 Months of TDGs, John Schmitt reminded me that playing lots of tactical decision games gives people the ability to build, and, better yet, exploit sophisticated mental models.
In Duffer's Drift: The Search for a Better Global Strategy, Compass Points reminded me that The Defense of Duffer’s Drift applies as much to concerns of statesmen as it does to the work of subalterns.
In How Marketing Hijacked Strategy, Mike Jones reminded me of the many times general officers (or their minions), who should have been looking for ideas, asked me to provide them with new slogans.
