The subject under discussion is, obviously, honour. Honour is an amorphous concept, perhaps even a conceit, which has driven men (and women, of course) to extreme actions over the centuries.
deMille, as a Viet Nam veteran, knows whereof he speaks when he tells us the story of Ben Tyson's dilemma. Tyson is cuaght in a manifold dilemma: will his honour be impugned if he should break his word, given freely to the men under his command? Will his honour become besmirched if he breaks his word to his commanding officers - and, by extension, his Commander In Chief and country? Will his honour be dragged into the mire if he breaks his word, given with love and hope for the future, to his wife?
Tyson, through deMille (or is it the other way around?) deals with these questions, and more, in a scintillating novel that will keep any reader with more than a hint of imagination not merely entertained, but thinking, for long after they put the book down.
Tyson's courage is on display on every page. His all-too human weaknesses and foibles are laid bare, for all to see. His name, his reputation, his courage, his honour are all threatened - but, in the end, all Tyson has to redeem himself with is his honour.
"Word of Honour" is an extraordinary novel. A story told with sympathy, clarity, warmth, and humanity.
Or - is it an essay?
