Toner has packed considerable challenge into this brief volume, a challenge to which all of us who care about the future of this country and its military profession must respond.

The issues are timely and have a clear pubic-policy relevance.

Toner's book serves as both microscope and mirror for those willing to take a penetrating look at the military services and what they mean to individual members and to society.
~Proceedings

~Publishers Weekly
If military ethics are better understood and improved, they can sound a more general moral awakening in America, reminding us all that there are many things worth doing honorably.
