Feb 17, Robert Chapman rated it it was amazing Shelves: It's been a long time since I read a book which contained wisdom I felt was both powerful and important. The "life value" concept which forms the basis of the book seems so simple that it could at first glance be dismissed as common sense. And to be honest, I felt it was just that as I read through the initial pages.

A little ways into the book the author started to describe relative values, how they can override the life value, and the horrible things which can and have happened as a result. That It's been a long time since I read a book which contained wisdom I felt was both powerful and important. That was when I got it, and truly realized the relevance of the life value.

From that point onwards I could not put the book down. The author does a wonderful job defining the life value and removing the obvious objections which arise when debating its merit. The depth of connection I made to the message within this book cannot be further described in a review.

To say I highly recommend this book would be a huge understatement. Jun 01, John Walker rated it it was amazing. Should be required reading at all military and police academies and a requirement for promotion to leadership positions. Puts focus and meaning to the reason why some people are protectors.

This country would be well served if its civilian leadership adopted the ethical lesson of this book.

The points regarding the dangers of ethical relativism are alone worth the read. This book will require a re-read with note taking, but for now, wow. Sep 18, Dean added it. He puts forth some excellent ideas for an integrated training approach to develop the "Ethical Warrior", ideas that we ignore at our peril and the peril of the next generation of Law Enforcement and Military personnel.

May 23, Fred Leland rated it it was amazing. A book packed full of wisdom based on experience dealing with conflict and violence. P ace keeping and winning without fighting if possible is the way to go but if violence is necessary to protect others or self then the moral high ground is necessary to maintain legitimacy. The Ethical Warrior is a guidebook for doing just that. I highly recommend this book.

From to , I would drive six hours to train with him once a month. It was during this time I was introduced to the idea of being an ethical warrior. In his book, The Ethical Warrior: With the number of killings at the hands of the police, it is a book every person who wears a badge needs to read.

In the book, Hoban talks about values, most importantly the value to protect life. Right now, as I look at the world, I believe our moral compass is off track. There is a segment of the population that vilifies people who are not like them. In the news, you hear the top office of the nation degrade others. As Hoban noted, the dehumanizing of people puts them at risk.

We have a segment who values money over life and is putting the world into a tailspin. Each day greed is causing more pollution. We are ruining the capability to survive. An ethical warrior recognizes when immoral acts are occurring and speaks out for justice or intervenes.

I have never been as concerned for the future of this nation as I am now. An ethical warrior is a protector of life, not a killer. Unfortunately, you may have to take a life to save more. Taking a life should not be the first and only option. I think Hoban does a great job addressing this in his book.

He uses many stories, which I have heard orally, to illustrate his points. I honestly believe everyone should read The Ethical Warrior. I believe it is a great book to help center your moral compass.
