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.
