Summary How Do I Save My Honor? is a powerful exploration of individual moral responsibility in a time of war. When people decide that the actions of their government have violated basic norms of ethics and justice, what are they to do? Are there degrees ofmoral responsibility that public officials, soldiers, and private citizens bear for unethical actions of their leaders and government? William F.
