Mandeville scrutinizes the intricate relationship between honour and Christian values, questioning how these elements shape human conduct in the chaos of war.

With its incisive analysis of concepts like honour and the role of Christianity, Mandeville’s work remains a vital resource for those examining the ethical dimensions of warfare and societal values.
