| Abstract | "The great nineteenth century French military thinker, Ardant du Picq, argued that selfless courage is rooted in a higher moral purpose, and is found among "Eliter Souls." This is a book about five such "Elites Souls," all highly decorated young West Point graduates and recipients of the USMA's Nininger Medal"-- Provided by publisher. |
