STRATEGY
The Closing of the American Mind
By Allan Bloom · 404 pages
Why this title matters
Bloom's 1987 argument that American universities abandoned the pursuit of truth and the Western intellectual tradition, producing graduates incapable of serious moral reasoning. A provocative challenge for any officer who aspires to think clearly about values, duty, and what an education is actually for.
