An examination of warrior codes through history, from ancient times through to modern terrorists. This book examines the ethical dimensions of emerging military technology such as drones, cyber warfare, and bio-enhanced troops, providing an assessment against the backdrop of historic and modern warrior codes. The central questions examined are: ‘Why do warriors need codes of behavior, why were such codes important in the past, and are such codes still relevant today?’
