The author bases the warrior ethos on Achilles, his archetypal Western warrior, and attributes to it values like self-sacrifice, valor, and a willingness to go beyond the call of duty. Coker argues that contemporary culture has "hollowed out" the warrior ethos by failing to honor those values: we have become a society skeptical of those who adhere to the warrior code and suspicious that those who do may love war too much. Later chapters discuss the influence of technology on warfare and the warrior ethos, arguing that the isolating effects of modern technology have removed the warrior from the battlefield, throwing those who maintain the warrior ethos into an existential crisis. The erosion of the warrior ethos, Coker contends, occurs at great peril to societies still dependent on these values in those they send to fight, for it is the warrior's ethos that limits atrocity and the deliberate targeting of civilians.
