Honor : A History, Paperback by Bowman, James, ISBN 1594031983, ISBN-13 9781594031984, Brand New, Free shipping in the US At its simplest, says Bowman (Ethics and Public Policy Center) honor is the good opinion within a society of equals. But he argues that during the 19th century in Europe and America, the essentially local quality of honor was obscured by the rise of the modern nation state and patriotism, and by the spread of honor from its previously exclusive residence among an aristocratic elite. Now people ponder--usually only hypothetically--the choice between betraying country and betraying friends. Annotation ©2007 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR ()
