In what way "Professional"? Why have these books been picked? By whom?
The list does have good books on it but the lack-of-context around this list leaves me confused.
- griffinmmahon 10y ago"Professional" probably in terms of "professional development", i.e. the ideas about character and historical knowledge deemed necessary by the military. I think that each branch has its own reading list, and the book lists are "picked" and revised by the most senior leadership (and also most likely their staff). For example, the Commandant of the Marine Corps's reading list (https://www.usmcofficer.com/marine-corps-knowledge/commandants-reading-list/ https://www.usmcofficer.com/marine-corps-knowledge/commandan...), which includes books for each rank for both enlisted and officers.
- fsloth 10y agoYes, but this list offers no such context.
