Originally compiled and edited by the late Karel Montor, a longtime professor of leadership at the U.S. Naval Academy, with a foreword by VADM James B. Stockdale, USN, Ret., and now fully updated by a team from the Center for the Study of Professional Military Ethics at the Naval Academy, this volume contains over one hundred case studies from and about active-duty U.S. military officers facing ethical challenges on the job. In a short narrative, each case describes the ethical challenge faced by a junior officer. It then asks readers what they think is the right thing to do in that situation. This valuable hands-on reference also includes discussion questions and an analysis of each case study.
An excellent guide for Junior Leaders in uniformed services who aspire to lead with passion and commitment. It provides practical guidelines that help young officers face leadership challenges and assist in self-development with values of loyalty, courage, selfless service and personal example. The solid foundation built by following these principles will stand the readers in good stead throughout their personal and professional life.

The U.S. military invests heavily in time and resources to train its officers to be leaders in the broadest sense – forming them not only in military art and science (strategy, tactics, command, etc.), but also in humanistic knowledge, character, and values, as well as how to apply this education on a lightning-fast battlefield or within an inertially slow bureaucracy. The military develops its leaders, at the service academies and in ROTC programs, through very specific but also broad and deep education – a way of thinking that also has wide application in the civilian world, not only in various professional fields that need leaders and thinkers, but also among military history enthusiasts who want to understand how officers have thought across time and among American citizens who want – and, really, need – to understand how our military leaders think, how they advise presidents, how they lead on the battlefield. In a genre-busting book that spans Stackpole’s two longstanding military programs – reference and history – Reed Bonadonna describes how officers think, how they ought to think, how they develop their skills, and how they can improve these skills, as well as how average civilians and citizens can learn from the example of military officers and their program of education. Bonadonna draws from military history, from military arts and science, from literature and science and more, to show how officers develop their critical-thinking and problem-solving skills. A military officer is often called upon to be not only fighter and leader, but also negotiator, organizer, planner and preparer, teacher, writer, scientist, and advisor, and needs broad learning. This is a deeply learned and insightful book, one that cites Lincoln, Grant, Patton, Eisenhower, Marshall, and Churchill as easily as Sun Tzu and Clausewitz, not to mention Homer, Plato, Joseph Conrad, Henry James, Wilfred Owen, Robert Graves, George Orwell, Ludwig Wittgenstein, Joseph Heller, Phil Klay, and even Jane Austen. The book is descriptive as well as prescriptive and should find eager readers inside the military (where officers take seriously their professional education and their professional reading lists) as well as outside, where many look to the military, to military reading lists, and to military history, to glean lessons for life and work.
