The Art of Maneuver: Maneuver-Warfare Theory and AirLand Battle (1991) By Robert Leonhard
 
Leonhard exposes as folly our view of war as an attritional phenomenon, measuring success in body counts and tons of explosives spent. 
 
The Art of Maneuver shows how true maneuver-warfare theory has been applied in campaigns throughout history. With a genius for apt analogy, the author shows how our obsession with fighting and winning set-piece battles causes us to overlook an enemy’s true vulnerabilities. But as low-intensity conflicts promise to become the dominant warfare of the future, the importance of maneuver in attacking an enemy’s critical vulnerability will render attrition approaches to warfighting ever more obsolete.
