The Apology Of An Officer

""The Apology of an Officer: For Withdrawing from the Profession of Arms"" is a book written by Thomas Thrush and published in 1828. It is a personal account of the author's decision to leave the military and his reasons for doing so. The book is divided into three parts, each dealing with a different aspect of his decision. The first part describes his experiences in the military and the events that led up to his decision to leave. The second part is a reflection on the moral and ethical issues involved in military service, including the use of force and the relationship between the military and civilian society. The third and final part is a defense of his decision to leave the military, arguing that it was a necessary and justifiable choice given his personal beliefs and values. The book is notable for its frank and honest portrayal of the challenges and dilemmas faced by military personnel, and for its thoughtful and thought-provoking analysis of the role of the military in society.Contained In A Letter Addressed To The King, And A Series Of Letters To A Friend, On The Causes And Evils Of War, Its Unlawfulness.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
