Book excerpt: "Native Americans have willingly served in the U.S. military during every one of its wars, and their numbers in the armed forces today exceed the percentage of any other ethnic group. What inspires these young people to enlist? One factor is the opportunity to continue a proud warrior tradition in which the deeds of battle are considered the highest form of bravery - a cultural context that is detailed in Warriors in Uniform." "Author Herman J. Viola sets this story against a chronology of conflict from the 1770s to the present, revealing the roles of Native Soldiers in America's two wars with Britain, the poignant reason 15,000 American Indians wore Confederate gray, and the distinction with which they have served in both world wars as well as Korea, Vietnam, Afghanistan, and Iraq." "Illustrated with archival images, exhibit-worthy photo essays, and artifact galleries from museum events nationwide, this special edition of Warriors in Uniform holds fascination for everyone interested in history, culture, biography, and art, as well as deeper truths, for all of us, about the way we view one another as fellow citizens of the nation and the world."--BOOK JACKET.

Book Synopsis The Warrior Ethos by : Steven Pressfield

Download or read book The Warrior Ethos written by Steven Pressfield. This book was released on 2011-03-02. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: WARS CHANGE, WARRIORS DON'T We are all warriors. Each of us struggles every day to define and defend our sense of purpose and integrity, to justify our existence on the planet and to understand, if only within our own hearts, who we are and what we believe in. Do we fight by a code? If so, what is it? What is the Warrior Ethos? Where did it come from? What form does it take today? How do we (and how can we) use it and be true to it in our internal and external lives? The Warrior Ethos is intended not only for men and women in uniform, but artists, entrepreneurs and other warriors in other walks of life. The book examines the evolution of the warrior code of honor and "mental toughness." It goes back to the ancient Spartans and Athenians, to Caesar's Romans, Alexander's Macedonians and the Persians of Cyrus the Great (not excluding the Garden of Eden and the primitive hunting band). Sources include Herodotus, Thucydides, Plutarch, Xenophon, Vegetius, Arrian and Curtius--and on down to Gen. George Patton, Field Marshal Erwin Rommel, and Israeli Minister of Defense, Moshe Dayan.
