BOYD: The Fighter Pilot Who Changed the Art of War
Robert Coram
2004

Review: Robert Coram's biography brought John Boyd to a new and expanded group of people. His unique style is an easy-to-read primer on Boyd's life, and should be considered as the "gateway drug" into Boyd appreciation.

Frans P.B. Osinga
2007

Review: Frans Osinga's examination of Boyd's completed work and military theories is the most comprehensive evaluation of Boyd's thoughts on war, and is the most complete analysis of Boyd's theories and enduring importance.

Review: Dr. Hammond's outstanding book is one part biography and one part analysis of Boyd's work and military theories, essentially a mix of Coram and Osinga.
