Drawing on philosophy, history, moral psychology, and ethics, this revised and expanded edition of French's The Code of the Warrior examines historical and contemporary warrior cultures and their values, arguing that today's warriors need a code, as their ancestors did, to prevent them from crossing the thin but critical line that separates warriors from murderers in the battle against global terrorism.
