"In my personal opinion, Strozzi-Heckler hits the mark in
identifying one of the most troubling problems affecting today's
U.S. military forces: the ascendancy of technology at the expense
of moral values that underpin the true spirit of the Profession of
Arms. A must read for those amongs us who really consider
themselves warriors."
--Michael E. Haas, Lt. Colonel, United States Air Force; Head, Air
Force Special Operations
"What a story this is! Strozzi-Heckler's chronicle of the army's
daring experiment in awareness training for twenty-five Green
Berets is must reading for anyone interested in the role of the
warrior in a technological age. But more than that, it is an
illumination of courage and vulnerability and what it means to be a
man. I couldn't put it down."
--George Leonard, author of The Silent Pulse and The
Ultimate Athlete "The Marine Martial Art program grew out of
the conviction that every Marine must be imbued with the values
that have sustained the Corps throughout its 227-year
history--honor, courage, and commitment. These warrior values are
at the heart of Richard Strozzi-Heckler's work with the Marine
Corps and the other services to strengthen those who go in harm's
way in order to preserve our freedom. In Search of the Warrior
Spirit reminds us of how urgent that task is."
--R.D. Hearney, General, United States Marine Corps (Ret.); former
Assistant Commandant "An exciting journal of discovery...Essential
reading for military leaders who want to broaden their ability to
adapt to a world characterized by ambiguity. Strozzi-Heckler's
original work helps readers link the important of mind-body-spirit
integration to cutting edge leadership in a pragmatic and
thoughtful manner."
--Fred T. Krawchuk, Lt. Colonel, United States Army Special
Forces
