Boyd's naval-intelligence history and crowded notes

A criticism of note layout is answered by attributing the difficulty to the amount of information in Boyd's book.

Question

Are the notes in Andrew Boyd's new book badly laid out?

Short answer

The difficulty is attributed to the amount of information packed into the book, while the recommendation remains strongly favourable.

Notes

An audience criticism of the notes in Boyd's naval-intelligence book prompts a different diagnosis: unusually dense information rather than poor arrangement. The recommendation remains strongly favourable. The amount of material is judged sufficient for four substantial books. That density can make the volume demanding to use while also accounting for its appeal as a reference.
