Beschreibung:
Roger Wertheimer is a Research Associate in the Philosophy Department of the Agnes Scott College, Decatur, USA
Responding to increasing global anxiety over the ethics education of military personnel, this volume illustrates the depth, rigour and critical acuity of Professional Military Ethics Education (PMEE). While primarily focused on US military academies, the volume will resonate with those responsible for education in military academies across the globe.
