This book is an inquiry into the possiblity of improving hte operational thinking and deciionmakeing of U.S. military individuals, teams, and forces who fight for their nation. 

The unstoppable spread of information networking and know-how gives rise to the need for a new edge—one that utilizes but transcends networks—by developing people, teams, and decisionmaking methods that convert information into better choices and outcomes. The authors call this new edge “battle-wisdom.”

This text is written for the policymaker, the strategist, the warfighter, the layman, and military science student to put battlefield cognition into strategic policy contexts
