The importance of honor is present in the earliest records of civilization. This book traces the history of this ideal, from the Middle Ages through the Enlightenment and to the killing fields of World War I and the despair of Vietnam. It reminds us that the fate of honor and the fate of morality and even manners are deeply interrelated.
