  What is courage and why is it one of the oldest and most universally admired virtues? How is it relevant in the world and what contemporary forms does it take? This book defines courage, asking how it differs from fearlessness, recklessness and fortitude, and why people are often more willing to ascribe it to others than to avow it for themselves.
