Stories of ancient Greek  and Roman soldiers, Chinese warrior monks, Vikings, Celts, Japanese  samurai, medieval European knights, Islamic warriors, and Zulu warriors  combine with contemporary perspectives on modern day warfare's latest  technologies and power structures to present a truly global and timeless  case for the exercise of restraint in warfare—primarily for the benefit  of those doing the fighting. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA new chapter on the famous  Zulu warrior Chief Shaka makes the important distinction between a  warrior and a strongman. Incorporating philosophy with history,  religion, anthropology, sociology, and moral psychology, French  addresses concepts which resonate within and beyond military service. She also  presents thoughtful answers to complex questions such as: Why should one  side of a conflict show restraint if the other side does not? How can a  command climate become corrupted? What is the difference between a  warrior and a murderer, or a terrorist, or a strongman? How do changes  in technology affect the conduct of war? \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFrench  provides analysis grounded in her own decades of work with and for  members of the U.S. military, as well as her extensive, international  scholarship in military ethics. It is a must-read book for anyone  interested in how wars can be fought ethically and how warriors can be  spared the worst moral injury that comes from betraying their own chosen  core values.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56562179965302,"sku":"9781538186688","price":29.09,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/orig_37682792_02f229a5-64ca-48e3-bce8-a523421e5091.jpg?v=1762395734","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9781538186688-the-code-of-the-warrior","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
