The Code of Man: Love Courage Pride Family Country

by Waller R. Newell

Book Overview

A worthy man is compassionate, decent, and gentlemanly toward others out of a sense of pride. He will not stoop to behave viciously, and he will not demean himself by acting cruelly ...

Wish he taught at my school...

This book is astounding. His earlier book on masculinity I gave to my younger brother for Christmas- he'll be getting this one this year. I work in a book store and attend SUNY New Paltz as a philosophy student- I've been putting this book in the hands of customers and professors both, and none have been dissapointed. Waller Newell's traditional approach to masculinity, with contemporary references, is the perfect answer to our present male identity crisis. Buy both this book and _What_Is_A_Man?_ for yourself, and for others. They make great presents for Bar Mitzvahs, Christmas, birthdays, Hannukah, Confirmation, graduations, and young men that might have some time on their hands in jail or a drug rehab program.
