▲'''Jesse Glenn Gray''' (known as ''J. Glenn Gray''; 1913–1977) was an American philosopher, writer, and professor of philosophy at Colorado College. Gray published numerous books and essays. His first major publication, ''[[The Warriors: Reflections on Men in Battle]]'', is a philosophical memoir of his years as an counter-intelligence officer near the battle lines in Italy during World War II inspired by Gray’s opposition to war. Its reprint in 1967 and subsequent editions included an introduction by [[Hannah Arendt]].
Gray was born May 27, 1913, near [[Mifflintown, Pennsylvania]]. He graduated from [[Juniata College]] and obtained an M.A. from the [[University of Pittsburgh]] in 1938 and a Ph.D. from [[Columbia University]] in 1941. Immediately after this, Gray spent four years in the United States Army, becoming a second lieutenant. When Gray returned to the United States he began his career as a professor. In 1947 Gray married Ursula Werner, with whom he had two daughters.
