    Awesome-Great Read For Those With and Without Military Backgrounds
  

*by S***H on Reviewed in the United States on December 27, 2013*

Pressfield brings the best of his intellect, knowledge of wars and warriors and a compact writing style to this book.  It engages the reader along the way to think about things in different ways.  Also a wonderful insight into some morsels of history.I just pushed the buy button to purchase 4 more copies of the bookTwo to friends with long term military careers who are struggling with the internal corporate politics. Hopefully it will help them understand the differences between their culture and that of the increasingly morally vacuous cultures in too many organizations.One to an extremely effective high school teacher to help him in discussions with students about their career options including the military.One to have as a spare to loanThe book is short, not due to an absence of thought, but rather from the quality of the writing.Camille Paglia recently did an interview with the WSJ (Dec, 2013) in which she noted the absence of military service among Wall Street, big business and political leadership as a potentially deadly threat to our nation.After teaching for a number of years in a leading university's MBA program and decades in business I am convinced that most of our business schools would be far better off sending their faculty off to spend 6 months with the Marines learning about effective, principled and goal oriented leadership. The Marine  Gunny with a high school education knows is a far more capable leader and far more capable trainer of leaders than our corporate leadership. The cornerstone of that effectiveness is the Warrior Ethos. No doubt some of Pressfield's disciplined writing skills came from his Marine Corps experience. A great read....... highly recommended.

    A great book from a great Author
  

*by T***E on Reviewed in the United States on June 15, 2024*

It's a great book that describes what it means to be part of a culture in the military, or any organization. Many get wrapped around the word ethos in the title, they are missing the point of the book, it is the shared experiences that have that bring people together. I have several copies with my own notes written in the margins, and I have also given several copies to junior Marines over the years. Great for any reader.

    The Little Book on Warrior Ethos
  

*by M***N on Reviewed in the United States on October 19, 2016*

This is a slender, concise book on warriors by Steven Pressfield, a man who has spent much of his life studying and writing about their ways. It is slanted toward the West and the Spartans in particular, whom are a brutal, dysfunctional bunch, albeit highly effective. This was a quick, enlightening read, but I wish Pressfield would have widened his lens to include the Samurai, Kshatriya, and the East-- cultures that embrace the spiritual path alongside a martial one. But, as his novels attest, he is virtually a Greek historian so it makes sense that his concept of warriorhood would be epitomized by the Spartans. Warrior cultures, no matter where they arise, have universal traits and Pressfield touches upon many of them here.The ethos of the warrior is one of discipline and hardship, courage and selflessness. It is about putting certain things before yourself. Honor reigns supreme. Shame is worse than death and old age comes only to a few. The Spartan way is short and hard. Boys are removed from their mothers when they are young and husbands cannot live with their wives until thirty. The Spartan life style produced highly effective warriors, yet it seems a bit imbalanced to me. Freedom of choice was not an option. The Spartans did not produce art, architecture, or literature. They left nothing behind. Their survival was perilously poised upon a large population of slaves. Spartans lived for one thing only: War. They mastered themselves through discipline and the willing acceptance of pain. They were not creators, but they were the ultimate guardians. Western Civilization as we know it has survived because of them.If one seeks to learn what it means to be a warrior, this book is a good place to start. The Spartans embodied the Western ethos of warriorhood thoroughly, but they are not the final word on the subject.
