Table of ContentsReviewsFrom Flanders Fields to the Moviegoer is a history of philosophical ethics between the world wars and down to the present. It focuses on the teaching of ethics in the military, with which Milton is especially familiar. . . . I learned much from his descriptions and evaluations. I hope this book gains a broad readership. --John M. Frame, Professor Emeritus of Systematic Theology and Philosophy, Reformed Theological Seminary Dr. Michael Milton offers a thoughtful, historical, and logical solution for some major challenges of the twenty-first-century military: suicides are increasing, PTSD is wanton, and modern 'philosophies' are not helping battle-scarred warriors. His proposal to return to a 'transcendent ethic' is convincingly 'on target.' --Douglas E. Lee, Chaplain, Brigadier General, US Army (retired); executive director, Chaplain Alliance for Religious Liberty In the end, Milton has successfully pulled from his entire, distinguished career in the academy, church, and military to provide a concise but profound framework to answer the deep ethical questions facing today's military service members--a bright ray of hope for those facing the dark challenges and memories of war. --Scott Manor, President and Associate Professor of Historical Theology, Knox Seminary """""From Flanders Fields to the Moviegoer is a history of philosophical ethics between the world wars and down to the present.
