    Awarded for Valour: A History of the Victoria Cross and the Evolution of the British Concept of Heroism (Studies in Military and Strategic History) By Melvin Charles Smith
    2008 | 290 Pages | ISBN: 0230547052 | PDF | 1 MB


    This is the most thoughtful and well-researched monograph on the topic of the Victoria Cross that I have encountered. It fully explores the reasons for the creation of the award and then traces the shifts in criteria for awarding the medal from its inception to the present day. It analyses the reasons for awarding the VC at various points in history and critiques the various military branches' awards bureaus for their viewpoints and motives. The author has filled a significant gap in British military scholarship. Well done.
