Forging the Warrior's Character

At the turn of this new century the professoriat of West Point revived the study of the U.S. Army as profession, publishing two texts that are now widelyused in schools of professional military education and, as well, by college courses in security studies. In similar manner, those faculty members have now turned to the Army profession's premier expertise-- the human development of leaders and soldiers-- with a new text: Forging the Warrior's Character: Moral Precepts from the Cadet Prayer. Completed in the spring of 2007, the text will be used at the Academy in the fall as a gift of the USMA Class of 1946.
