Abstract

This volume explores issues involving heroism and how it has both continued and changed as a military ideal, a motivational factor and a public symbol. It focuses on the question of whether, in the recent past, new kinds of ideals of heroism (and by association, valor, sacrifice or bravery) have been added to older forms? This question inquires whether new criteria have emerged to acknowledge and highlight exceptional military behavior. Evidence of the continued importance of heroism is presented and seven (non-exclusive) theses about its contemporary manifestations are presented and linked to scholarship and the book’s chapters: Post-heroism and casualty aversion; professionalization; changing organizational locus; post-patriotic heroism; a shift to rescue and recovery; individualization; and democratization. Next the politics or heroism as a resource is explored and the conclusion argues for cumulative model in which newer forms are added to older forms of heroism.
