"Honor: A History" by James Bowman

It's pathetic, but that's not wrong.

     The, ahem, person says that no one, no matter how dictatorial, refused to sell us oil.  I guess this, ahem, human has never heard of the oil boycotts in 1973.  Strictly second rate defender of Empire. 

     Montesquieu calls Honor the Principle behind Monarchy.  Much of Bowman's talk reminds one of hagiographic "On the Actions of the King."  Straw men, myopia, vague terms, and so much else puts this guy in another league.  The farm league.
