Coward. It’s a grave insult, likely to provoke
anger, shame, even violence. But what exactly
is cowardice? When terrorists are called cow-
ards, does it mean the same as when the term
is applied to soldiers? And what, if anything,
does cowardice have to do with the rest of us?
Bringing together sources from court-mar-
tial cases to literary and film classics such as
Dante’s I?femo9 The Red R dge of Coztr-tzge9 and
The Thtzz Red Lzrze Cototzrdzce recounts the great
harm that both cowards and the fear of seem-
ing cowardly have done, and traces the idea
of cowardice’s power to its evolutionary roots.
But Chris Walsh also shows that this power
has faded, most dramatically on the battle-
field. Misconduct that earlier might have been
punished as cowardice has more recently often
been treated medically, as an adverse reaction
to trauma, and W alsh explores a parallel ther-
apeutic shift that reaches beyond war, into the
realms of politics, crime, philosophy, religion,
and love.
Yet, as Walsh indicates, the therapeutic has
not altogether triumphed---contempt for cow-
ardice endures, and he argues that such con-
tempt can he a good thing. Courage attracts
much more of our attention, but rigorously un-
derstanding cowardice may be more morally
useful, for it requires us to think critically
about our duties and our fears, and it helps us
to act ethically when fear and duty conflict.
Richly illustrated and filled with fascinat-
ing stories and insights, Colocztelzce is the first
sustained analysis of a neglected but profound
and pervasive feature of human experience.
