Dr Joel Hayward - Joel Hayward's Books and Articles
This article particularly intriqued me;Dr Joel Hayward, ZDaF, BA, MA Hons, PhD is a New Zealand-born and educated senior defence academic, author, columnist and poet in the United Kingdom. Dr Hayward's own teaching focus is nowadays on Just War and the ethics and ecological impact of modern air power. He also studies and lectures on Islam and the ethics of war.
Prayers Before Battle - Joel Hayward's Books and Articles
The prayers before battle of three great leaders and warriors;
Prayer of Vice Admiral Horatio Lord Nelson (Off Cape Trafalgar, 21 October 1805)
General Robert E. Lee’s Call to Prayer (Headquarters, Army of Northern Virginia, 13 August 1863)
Prayer of General George S. Patton, Jr. (France, December 1944)
These kinds of articles certainly give you a different view of the men we have revered through our lifes.
