Academic Writing for Military Personnel is a manual for writing
clear and effective academic prose. Authored by an experience
writing instructor and a retired military officer, both of whom now
teach in a professional military education institution, it is
directed at members of the armed forces who are entering, or
perhaps re-entering, the academic community having spent much of
their careers either writing in the professional military context
or not writing at all. The book not only teaches officers how to
write convincingly, but also explains why a sound grasp of academic
writing can enhance their effectiveness in their regular duties,
particularly as they reach the more senior levels of service.
Chapters focus on the value of written communication skills, the
difference between professional (staff) and academic writing, the
research process, the writing process, academic professionalism,
and common writing problems and challenges. A particularly
innovative final chapter discusses how officers can use the
knowledge that they have acquired through their professional
experiences in the academic context. Specific examples – chosen
with a military audience in mind – are integrated throughout the
text to provide the reader with relevant and practical guidance.
The revised edition incorporates new examples from a more diverse
set of authors, takes into account recent changes in communication
technologies, and reflects new advancements in the scholarship of
teaching and learning. As the only comprehensive guide to effective
academic writing designed specifically for military personnel, this
book will be a crucial addition to the libraries of junior and
senior officers in militaries worldwide. Available formats: trade
paperback, accessible PDF, and accessible ePub
