Beschreibung

Spartan Military Discipline explores how the city-state of Sparta rose to military dominance in ancient Greece through a unique system of societal and military organization. The book argues that Sparta's success was not solely due to inherent martial prowess but stemmed from a carefully constructed system of indoctrination, rigorous training, and stringent social control.

 
For example, the agoge, Sparta's state-sponsored education system, played a crucial role in shaping boys into disciplined soldiers from a young age, instilling unwavering obedience and loyalty. The book examines the Spartan army's structure, tactics, and weaponry, including the formidable hoplite phalanx. It also investigates the societal factors that underpinned Sparta's military success, such as its political system and the role of women.

 
Drawing from ancient historians and archaeological findings, the book offers a nuanced perspective on Spartan military discipline, challenging romanticized views and presenting a more complex understanding of Spartan society. The book progresses from a historical overview and in-depth examination of the agoge, to an analysis of the army, and concludes with an assessment of Sparta's legacy.

    Liberty or Justice for All? brings to life four of America's greatest thinkers, whose dialogue across the ages has never been more relevant. Philip F. Gura begins his nimble tale with Jonathan Edwards, a fiery preacher who insisted that God would reward those who embraced social cooperation. One generation later, the Founding Fathers grounded their own project of civic renewal in rights and freedom. But if every citizen is guaranteed life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, does this mean America is a nation where the individual reigns supreme? 
     
     
     
    America's young democracy soon found its prophet in Ralph Waldo Emerson, who preached a gospel of self-reliance, small government, and self-improvement. But with the coming of the Civil War, Emerson's triumphant individual became a cog in a vast war machine. Radical technological transformations convinced the psychologist-turned-philosopher William James that the self was more fragmented and fragile than Emerson believed. He found virtue in pluralism and diversity, seeing selfishness as the cardinal sin. Two world wars and several failed revolutions later, John Rawls, shaken by the divisions of Vietnam, sought to establish a new secular foundation for social cooperation. Over time, we have sought to hold these opposing value systems in delicate balance, promising both liberty and justice for all.

    Just over one week after the landings in Normandy, American troops took part in a massive amphibious invasion of Saipan, but intense public interest in operations in Europe meant that this invasion received less media coverage at the time, and it has been the subject of far less interest from historians and writers since. Part of the reason seems to be the different perception of the war in the Pacific. During the war in Europe, Allied troops were, for the most part, welcomed as liberators by the inhabitants of the countries they occupied. Combat was generally conducted according to the accepted rules of war, with troops who surrendered becoming prisoners of war.  
    	In the Pacific Theater, combat was very different. The clash between American and Japanese troops was not just a battle between two modern nations; it was a conflict between two very different cultures and ideologies. Many Japanese soldiers fought according to the tenets of Bushido, the ancient warrior code first employed by the Samurai. This held that death was infinitely preferable to surrender, and that suicide was regarded as a legitimate and even praiseworthy act. The Japanese soldiers who did surrender were regarded with contempt, and enemy soldiers who fell into Japanese hands were treated with extreme cruelty. To American soldiers, the Japanese troops they encountered seemed to fight with fanatical zeal.  
    	As a result, the fighting on Saipan was bloody and intense. Although the battle lasted less than one month, almost 50,000 soldiers died or became casualties on the island, and many Japanese soldiers chose death, either through suicide or assaults on the enemy that had no real prospect of success. Civilians also suffered horrendous casualties on Saipan - more than 20,000 died, with many committing suicide rather than becoming prisoners of the Americans.

     Real stories told by real people, in their own words, 40 veterans, men and women, caught up in an all too real war. From the Delta to the DMZ, come walk in their boots. If you were there, you understand. If you weren't, grab a copy. They're like Doritos. Try a few and you won't be able to stop. 
    The Vietnam War dominated my generation and affected so many lives in so many different ways. Some of us were drafted. Some enlisted. Some became war heroes, intentional or not, but most of us were just trying to survive. Army, Marines, Air Force, Navy, or Coast Guard, American, Australian, and New Zealanders, Vietnam was all about luck, good or bad. And there were hundreds of different wars depending on where you were, the year you were there, your service, branch, unit, rank, job, and race. 
    Whether we were nurses, helicopter pilots, infantryman, Rangers, clerk typists, combat medics, engineers, MPs, Platoon Leaders, sailors on riverine patrols up the rivers, artillerymen, or cooks, from 1956 to 1976 from the Delta to the DMZ, these stories tell who we were, the jobs we did, our memories of that time and place, how it changed us, and what we did after we came home. Hopefully, these books will help illuminate that narrative.

    The Republic poses questions that endure: What is justice? What form of community fosters the best possible life for human beings? What is the nature and destiny of the soul? What form of education provides the best leaders for a good republic? What are the various forms of poetry and the other arts, and which ones should be fostered and which ones should be discouraged?
     
    How does knowing differ from believing? Several characters in the dialogue present a variety of tempting answers to those questions. Cephalus, Polemarchus, Thrasymachus, and Glaucon all offer definitions of justice. Socrates, Glaucon, and Adeimantus explore five different forms of republic and evaluate the merit of each from the standpoint of goodness. Two contrasting models of education are proposed and examined. Three different forms of poetry are identified and analyzed. The difference between knowing and believing is discussed in relation to the objects of each kind of thinking.
