This book doesn't use the quasi-mathematical techniques to explain strategy, rather, the author simply and clearly writes out what a strategy is (and is not), how they should be implemented (and what should be avoided), what sorts of conditions one must deal with, and also some forms of analysis (like the 'hump chart'). The book is never bogged down by gobbledygook (technical terminology), and each point is exemplified by cases. Perhaps the most enjoyable part was on leadership, especially pages 72 and following, which he exposes as bunk. There is no concluding chapter, so the ending seems rather abrupt. There are relatively few footnotes, but there is an extensive index.
