Book Description
Excerpt from Morale What, then, is this subtle something upon which, in war and peace, all the rest depends? What is morale? Morale is one of those things that everybody understands, and that nobody understands The will of the country is unshakable, we say. The Spirit of the people was never finer. The nation has supreme confidence in its leaders. All along the line the men are on fighting edge. The enemy is losing his nerve. Will, spirit, confidence, nerve, fight ing edge: everybody knows what these things mean. But what is the common something back of them all? Where does it come from? Is it simple in nature, or complex? What fosters it? What impairs it? These are questions not every one is ready to answer. Yet they are questions, some of them, of supreme moment to both soldier and citizen. This matter of morale, then, is worth looking into a little further.
