Reviews

Michael Donelan applies virtue ethics to foreign policy and discerns a motive for honor lurking in even modern and utilitarian liberal society. This study of honor in foreign policy tests the limits of rationalist and consequentialist calculations, and draws vivid pictures of societies where honor in foreign policy ruled. The account of honor in Soviet foreign policy is particularly impressive. --Cornelia Navari, University of Buckingham [A]n eminently civilized book: one which leave the reader not only wiser and better informed, but feeling kinder about the way the world is managed.--David Goodall, The Tablet
