I realize the topic "maps" is being used as a metaphor in this important post. Moreover, I believe it important for Marine leaders to be well versed in the power and utility of actual maps, paper or digital. Two important books in this regard are John Lewis Gaddis' "The Landscape of History: How Historians Map the Past" and Robert D. Kaplan's "The Revenge of Geography: What the Map Tells Us About Coming Conflicts and the Battle Against Fate." I'm sure other readers of Compass Points will have additional worthwhile references.

Great graphics (maps) with the Financial Time article. It really helps in understanding the war over the months.
