“Informational! Informative! Educational! Challenging! This book is more than a book about war and morality. It is about the rights and duties of all American citizens. With that said, readers from every nation, especially those from democratic ones, will benefit from reading this book. Buy it! This book is informative and well worth reading. It ought to be mandatory reading in all military ethics courses”—H-Net Reviews.
