Morale The Tenth Principle of War

Abstract

This paper examines morale at the individual, unit, army, and national levels and concludes that it merits designation as the tenth principle of war. Builds a systematic, well organized case to make his point in a very convincing manner. This research is broad, but well focused on the subject and skillfully blended quotes from Clausewitz to Kissinger building the case that morale/national will/public support should be elevated in our awareness by making it a principle of war.
