How Do I Save My Honor? is a powerful exploration of individual
moral responsibility in a time of war. When people decide that the
actions of their government have violated basic norms of ethics and
justice, what are they to do? Are there degrees of moral
responsibility that public officials, soldiers, and private
citizens bear for unethical actions of their leaders and
government? William F. Felice considers these central ethical
questions through the compelling stories of individuals in the U.S.
and British government and military who struggled to protect their
moral integrity during the Iraq war and occupation. Some came to
the difficult conclusion that resignation from their post was
necessary to maintain their responsibility to the truth and to
uphold their honor. Others decided to work from within to try to
correct what they perceived as misguided policies. Examining the
struggles of these contemporary men and women, as well as of
historical figures facing similar dilemmas, William Felice weighs
the profound difficulties of overcoming the intense pressures of
misguided loyalty, patriotism, and groupthink that predominate
during war.
