Colonel of Marines Michael Duncan Wyly: THREE COMPLETE BOOKS: a Marine with a Vision, No Quarter Given, No Quarter Sought, Delta Isn't Dying Anymore, Skipper Paperback – November 3, 2024

“Whether one considers retired Marine Colonel Michael Wyly to be a ‘radical’ or ‘reformer,’ he played a critical role in the advent of Maneuver Warfare that helped the U.S. Marine Corps achieve battlefield victories during the Persian Gulf War. Thereafter, Maneuver Warfare influenced Marines for three decades. In this book (Colonel of Marines Michael D. Wyly: A Marine with a Vision), Dr. Anthony Piscitelli blends Wyly’s words with running commentaries that provide context for Wyly’s career. His story also forms an important backdrop for understanding twenty-first century debates in the Marine Corps regarding future doctrines, strategies, force structures, weapons systems, and vehicles.”--David J. Ulbrich, Ph.D., author of Preparing for Victory: Thomas Holcomb and theMaking of the Modern Marine Corps, 1936-1943"No Quarter Given, No Quarter Sought" and “Delta Isn’t Dying Anymore, Skipper” examine Colonel Wyly's writings from 1976 to 2017. Wyly served as the main catalyst in the evolution of Maneuver Warfare as adopted by the United States Marine Corps during the post-Vietnam period in the United States. Marine Corps Gazette articles, combined with academic and military papers, detail Colonel Wyly's push for maneuver warfare based in part on his experiences serving two tours of duty in Vietnam and his intensive study of military history and historical strategy and tactics. These two books serve as an accompaniment to "Colonel of Marines Michael D. Wyly: A Marine with a Vision.” Read more
