Clausewitz's lesser-known and often-misunderstood Guide to Tactics, republished here for the first time as a standalone English text with critical annotations, houses the common tenets on which the Marine Corps' warfighting philosophy is based and provides a guide to thinking about the nature of tactics and combat as valuable to the modern warfighter as to those of old"--
