Autor Malham M. Wakin
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 28 aug 2000
Brigadier General Malham M. Wakin, head of the philosophy department at the U.S. Air Force Academy for over thirty years, is one of the most esteemed military ethicists in the United States. This collection of essays-the first to be published together in a single volume-will be essential reading for anyone interested in the field of applied and theoretical ethics. Covering such diverse issues as war and morality, legal ethics, medical ethics, business ethics, conflict mediation, pacifism, just war theory, religion and war, and nuclear deterrance, Integrity First includes work that not only treats issues of longstanding historical significance, but also has relevance to any serious discussion of modern justice. This book represents an erudite and influential mind, and will be of special interest to students and academics both here and abroad.

Recenzii

Integrity First is a thoughtful work by an officer who both preaches and practices the military virtues. . . . It is recommended reading for all officers-especially those who are a bit jaded. It is also recommended for anyone else both in and outside the military who is concerned about ethical standards as they might or might not be found in that often misunderstood institution.
This fine collection puts [Wakin's] lifetime of insightful and persuasive work in one place. No one interested in issues of professional military ethics should be without this book.
