  War of Honor - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Even Honor's fleet is attacked, despite the long distance between Haven and Sidemore, but she succeeds in defeating the Havenite forces.

 War With Honor My Ass!   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
When people of a country identify another country as an enemy that is attempting to invade and oppress the people of the nation, officially declare war against the attacking country, and attack the armed forces of that nation, it is honorable.
Most disgusting and lacking of honor is people in governments of countries who use deceit as their justification for the unmerciful killing of people not actively engaged in in a declared war against them.
Honor would be more likely to be served than dishonor by government if this were the case.

 War of Honor by David Weber
When David Weber's War of Honor, the tenth book featuring heroine Honor Harrington, made its way to the bookstore shelves last year, it did what many books in series this lengthy often fail to do - it broke the formula and still managed to remain an excellent read.
The series began with On Basilisk Station, in which Honor Harrington, commanding a single starship, must overcome impossible odds to foil attempts by the People's Republic of Haven to instigate a war and steal a weapons system vital to the defense of the Star Kingdom of Manticore.
Honor is a very strong central lead without being an emotionless automaton.

 War of Honor: Chapter Nine
Honor had released her own statement, of course, and she knew William Alexander had used his own press contacts to do as much preemptive spadework as he could before the story broke, as well.
Honor had done her dead level best to goad him into making that fatal assertion, but he had refused to be drawn into that error.
Honor had always felt horribly embarrassed by the Graysons' unabashed hero worship of her, not least because she felt it denigrated the sacrifices made by so many others in the battles she'd fought at Yeltsin's Star.

 Sent to War... Into Honor or Infamy
These soldiers, in the aftermath of the Civil War, with its ostensible freeing of the slaves, were not treated equally with their white counterparts and denied the compensations promised after their service.
Yet, their service, albeit admirable by standards of valor, courage and commitment -- not to mention, the attended glory given their duties of protecting white encroachers -- was, ironically, dedicated to the killing and enslaving of a people, to continue the unmolested plundering of their way of life.
But this war sucks; it is not waged for self-defense or self-autonomous liberation.

After risking his life and a fresh round of civil war to overthrow the Committee of Public Safety's reign of terror and restore the Republic of Haven's ancient Constitution, an interstellar war was the last thing he wanted.
The Prime Minister of Manticore was perfectly happy with the war he had.
No one was shooting anyone else at the moment, and as long as he could spin out negotiations on the formal treaty of peace, his government could continue to milk all those "hostilities only" tax measures for their own partisan projects.

Honor leaned back in her chair and crossed her legs, and her chocolate-brown eyes were on the cold side of cool as she gazed at the woman on the other side of the desk.
And Honor had not only caught her in the act but given the admiral enough rope to hang herself before she produced the actual breakdown between active duty and half-pay personnel.

War of Honor is, of course, the latest chapter in David Weber's bestselling Honor Harrington series of novels, a series which I have been reading practically since the beginning.
Unfortunately, War of Honor suffers from this even more than Ashes of Victory, even though at 800+ pages it is by far the longest of the series so far.
And that is the crux of the problem with War of Honor: there is far too much talking, far too many people discussing or explaining what is happening than truly showing it, to actually get interested in the story.

War is indeed hell, but honor requires that you fight for what you believe in, even if the person you're fighting is your neighbor.
But the collectibles that speak most eloquently about the battles fought are the Medals of Honor given to the fighting men who gave up their dreams, their health and, in far too many cases, their lives.

Captain Versace assumed command of his fellow American soldiers, scorned the enemy's exhaustive interrogation and indoctrination efforts, and made three unsuccessful attempts to escape, despite his weakened condition which was brought about by his wounds and the extreme privation and hardships he was forced to endure.
During his captivity, Captain Versace was segregated in an isolated prisoner of war cage, manacled in irons for prolonged periods of time, and placed on extremely reduced ration.
Captain Versace's gallant actions in close contact with an enemy force and unyielding courage and bravery while a prisoner of war are in the highest traditions of the military service and reflect the utmost credit upon himself and the United States Army.

 Immigrant served with honor during Civil War
Believe it or not, Freehold Borough was once the adopted home of one of the most decorated war heroes in American history, although most residents of the community may not be aware of that fact.
Apparently, Alex Moreau, the founder and publisher of the Freehold Transcript, knew the war hero well and documented much of Fallon’s Civil War record on the occasion of his 68th birthday in August 1905 (the source of the recent Yesteryear material) and his obituary in August 1916.
Official Civil War records state that a few weeks later on May 30-31 in action at Fair Oaks, Va., Fallon again distinguished himself by voluntarily joining his unit in the combat action of that period despite the fact that he had been excused from duty because of disability.

The honoring of the Nazi war veterans in Ivano-Frankivsk as "fighters for independence" of Ukraine shows disrespect for the millions of Jews, Slavs and others who died in the hands of the German Nazis and their collaborators.
We should not forget that it was this same Halychyna division whom the head of the SS, Himmler, congratulated in May of 1944 for having cleansed Ukraine of all its Jews.
It is tragic and inexcusable that six decades after World War II and the Holocaust, Ukraine is ignoring the murderous behavior of Nazis in order to celebrate those who opposed Soviet domination in Eastern Europe.

 Review of WAR OF HONOR by David Weber   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
Most of WAR OF HONOR deals with the political background, both in Haven and Manticore, of the political incompetence that leads to a war that none of the parties really wants.
Allowing her nation to be plunged into a destructive war without doing so is consistent with the 18th century, but not the future.
In addition to the e-book text of WAR OF HONOR, the C.D. includes e-book versions of all of the other Honor novels and short story collections to date, as well as about 20 additional novels by various authors including some as recent as 1633 by Weber and Freer (see our review of 1633).
