From Publishers Weekly
The editors (science fiction writers and coauthors of The Nonlethality Initiative ) sent a questionnaire to members of various armed services; this volume publishes the responses of 38, among them men and women from the U.S. Army, Navy and Air Force, a former Israeli paratrooper, a Canadian army man, a one-time deputy director of the CIA and a former member of the National Security Council. Such questions as "What are the emotional rewards of warriorship?" virtually invite pompous replies and, indeed, several of the male respondents pontificate about moral courage, honor, integrity, loyalty and pride. (The four women included do not.) The editors interrupt occasionally with inane comments ("So we must be on our guard against not only wrong action, but also wrong reaction and wrong inaction") in an unfocused and often boring text. No salty or irreverent comments leaven the sanctimonious tone.

Hard Back. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. Kosarin, Lind - Cover (illustrator). First Edition First Printing Stated. 271 Pages. Dust jacket unclipped price is 18.95. Duane Elms-Research Direcdtor. Richard Groller-Chief Researcher. An oral history of the mean and women who have served in our armed forces from World War II through Desert Setorm. Tol in their own words, these individuals cnadidly describe what fighting for their country mean to them. When diplomacy fails the fates of nations depend on these uniquely qualified soldiers. These are their own true stories, revealing answers to questions that most Americans would ask if they could. There are over 60 individual stories of which some of them were from Gen. George J. Walker, David Drake, Pappy Hicks, Richard Groller, Michelle Miller, Mark Berent, James Teal, and many more. Chris and Janet Morris have written over 30 books together many of which were Science Fiction. They currently are members of the National Intelligence Study center and the U.S. Global Strategy Council. The accounts reveal who the guardians of our society's freedoms think they are, who they think we are, and what it costs them to protect a society that is ambivalent about the existence of warriors, their purpose and the value of their efforts. It could become an important sociological document that will sum uup the political and military thought or an era and a nation. Seller Inventory # 7420
