To Serve with Honor: A Treatise on Military Ethics and the Way of the Soldier

by Richard A. Gabriel

Overview

"To Serve With Honor should be required reading for all members of the officer corps of the United States military. Beyond that, it should be made required reading for all United States military academies, ROTC and officer candidate programs. This treatise on military ethics goes a long way in bridging the gap between the military and society's understanding of the military's ethical dilemma. It is a must for the student of military affairs." International Social Science Review
