"The Defense of Jisr Al-Doreaa lives up to the classic it is patterned after.  Like Defense of Duffer's Drift, Burgoyne and Marckwardt's new book provides a ready made series of vignettes and discussion points for the small unit leader.   Maneuver warfare is based on the mental link between the commander and his team.  That link is built in peacetime training, exercises and Tactical Discussion Games.  Both books provide material for commander's to teach their people how  to think through a problem - and in doing so teach the commander how his people think.  Professionals need to own both volumes."
