Awarded for Valour: A History of the Victoria Cross and the Evolution of British Heroism - Studies in Military and Strategic History
M. Smith
Based on primary source research, this is the most comprehensive history of the Victoria Cross available, tracing the evolution of the award from its inception in 1856 to the most recent bestowals. The study also examines the evolution of the concept of heroism and how the definition of heroism changed along with the nature of warfare.
