About this book

In the crucible of war, physical strength is only half the battle — the mind determines whether a man falls or fights. Psychology for the Fighting Man is your field guide to the human side of warfare: perception, morale, fear, leadership, rumor, and how the senses themselves become tools on the battlefield.

Created by a committee of psychologists and military experts and rewritten for the average soldier, the book turns military psychology into usable insight. You'll learn how vision, sound, smell, and orientation work under stress; how morale is built or broken; how panic forms; how leaders reach hearts as well as minds; and how propaganda exploits our deepest instincts.

Each chapter can act alone — "Seeing in the Dark," "Color and Camouflage," "Leadership," "Morale," "Rumor," "Psychological Warfare" — yet together they form a map of human conflict beyond bullets and trenches. Whether you're in training or on the front, this book shows how a soldier's mind can be his greatest weapon (or his weakest link).

Still widely read today among historians and military psychologists, Psychology for the Fighting Man remains a striking reminder that war is as much about the inner struggle as the outer one.
