This book offers a history of honor in foreign policy, working from both a theoretical and historical perspective. Topics covered include the ideologies of Darwinists, nationalists, and fascists, as well as an account of the greed that goes hand-in-hand with advances in government, offering lessons for the implementation of foreign policy today.

'...an eminently civilised book: one which leaves the reader not only wiser and better informed, but feeling kinder about the way the world is managed.' - David Goodall, The Tablet
