Ehre und Pflichterfüllung als Codes militärischer Tugenden

Honor and the fulfillment of duty were and are concepts that are closely linked to the military: They are considered codes for virtues such as bravery, courage, readiness to fight, obedience, love of the fatherland, honesty, and loyalty. But as self-evident as such a location may seem, behind honor and the fulfillment of duty there are conglomerations of very different ideas hidden in a historical perspective. This volume opens a first path into this thematic field. It brings together the results of current research, which present the constants and differences between honor and duty in a temporally and spatially broad approach. [publisher]
