What is the nature of courage, how and when should it be recognised, and how has our appreciation of it changed? These are among the questions Granville Allen Mawer answers in this absorbing study of the history of the Victoria Cross, the highest award in the British honours system for gallantry in the presence of the enemy. It is an analytical account of the institution of the Victoria Cross, and it is a fascinating study of the ethics of rewarding bravery.
