Overview

Leadership and ethics are mostly treated as related though separate phenomena. This edited volume explicitly treats leadership and ethics as a single domain. Military leaders have to deal with personnel who have either used or experienced violence. This intertwinement of leadership and violence separates military leadership from that in other professions. Even in a time that leadership is increasingly questioned, it is still good leadership that keeps soldiers from crossing the thin line between legitimate force and excessive violence.
