Army Literacy: The Write Stuff?
Folks,From an H-War posting, a review in the Weekly Standard of a recent book written by a West Point professor of English. Basically, it touts the Academy as a place where a book based intellectual journey is important and one that continues for many after they leave the institution. I would contrast this finding with a recent article in The New Yorker on the value of reading for intellectual development and thinking and what changes may happen as book culture declines.
