Publisher Description
What goes through the mind of an American warrior spiritually and religiously when facing the enemy? Treading where few books have gone, The Faith of the American Soldier examines the religious and spiritual issues in America's wars, and then considers what is lost to our military through a secular approach to battle.
Special attention is paid to the current war in Iraq, where Mansfield reaches surprising conclusions about the need for structured faith on the battlefield-and how its absence contributes to catastrophes like those at Abu Ghraib prison.

The Faith of the American Soldier Listener Reviews
-
" I would really like to rate this at 3.5. I thought the book was interesting and brought up some interesting scenarios, especially of the role of the chaplain. I appreciated how he explained what an awkward position we have put our soldiers in by taking away a moral cause. I'm glad I read this book. "
