Add your own review!

Overview

This innovative study offers the first-ever comparison of the military roles played by commissars, political officers, and chaplains in military settings ranging from the armies of Cromwell, the Jacobins, the Nazis, the Soviets, and the United States. Despite the stark differences in the political systems of the countries of these disparate armed forces, Dale R. Herspring argues that there are certain critical functions that must be fulfilled in every military, regardless of its ideological orientation. Visit our website for sample chapters!

Reviews

As a former soldier of the National People's Army I have learned that ideological fanaticism can destroy every moral and human value. This brilliant analysis is worthwhile reading. It should motivate readers to think about human values and human rights in the world today.--Colonel (Rt.) Hans-Werner Weber
