Nolen Gertz is an Instructor in Philosophy at Delta College, USA. He specializes in applied ethics, political philosophy, and existential phenomenology.

“I found Gertz’s book refreshing and eye-opening. His book offers promise for changing the interpretive paradigm of military ethics instruction and analysis, and for motivating caregivers to reassess their boilerplate civilian judgments of troubled soldiers.” (Matthew Hallgarth, Journal of Military Ethics, Vol. 15 (2), August, 2016)
