Redefining the Modern Military: The Intersection of Profession and Ethics (Naval Institute Press, 2018), edited by Nathan K. Finney and Tyrell O. Mayfield, is a collection of essays examining military professionalism and ethics in light of major changes to modern warfare.\xa0 Contributors examine philosophical and legal questions about what constitutes a profession, the requirements of a military professional, and military education.\xa0 Additionally, the authors tackle questions of ethics related to new technological advancements, such as unmanned aircraft.\xa0 Finally, an interesting discussion of the military\u2019s relationship with society, and vice versa, is discussed as an important component of oversight of the profession.
