Whetham (of the Defence Studies Department of King's College London, based at the Joint Services Command and Staff College in the UK Defence Academy) conducts an analysis of the practical, moral, legal, and metaphysical understandings of stratagems of surprise and deception in medieval European warfare during the Hundred Years War (c.1337-1453). He describes the state of the just war tradition up to the beginning of the era; examines the legal framework governing the use of violence; and analyzes such texts as the Epitome of Military Science by Vegetius, the Demandes and the Book of Chivalry by Geoffroy de Charny, and the Chronicles by Jean Froissart, moving from the more abstract to the actual practice of surprise and deception along the way.
