  Analyses the influences of ideas of honour on the causes, conduct, and endings of wars from Ancient Greece through to the war in Iraq. This book reveals that the contradictory behaviour of soldiers during war is a product of the contradictions inherent in the concept of honour. It is for students of military ethics, military history, and more.
