A work that applies the philosophy of the Roman Stoics (Cicero, Epictetus, Seneca and Marcus Aurelius) to the military. Through military themes of leadership and character, anger and control, resilience and fear, and camaraderie and brotherhood, Sherman unpacks the benefits that the moderate adoption of Stoic approaches can have upon the development and improvement of the military professional.
