Recenzii
“More Real Courage" makes an important and original contribution to the field of Naval Academy history in particular, and to the fields of nineteenth-century military education (especially regarding character development) and nineteenth-century concepts of military honor more broadly.” —William P. Leeman, author of The Long Road to Annapolis: The Founding of the Naval Academy and the Emerging American Republic
“Honor was—and is—a slippery concept. This was especially true among impressionable young midshipmen at the newly established US Naval Academy in 1845. More Real Courage shows how perceptions of personal honor affected both individuals and the institution. Secession, Civil War, reform, and Reconstruction compelled the midshipmen to reconsider where their honor lay. Limneos’s book is a thoughtful and penetrating examination of a nuanced yet powerful belief system within the US Navy during the great crisis of the Union.” —Craig L. Symonds, author of Lincoln and His Admirals: Abraham Lincoln, the U.S. Navy, and the Civil War
