Abstract:

Lurgahi’s works, not all of which have been translated, are based on extensive and  innovative research and often present original interpretations.  In this book he marshals evidence to establish that honor was indeed a major determinant of behavior in the antebellum and wartime South, an idea often derided.  See also his definitive history of the Confederate Navy at 02.06.09.
