Why read it

  • You will see how a rival power can misread a country's turmoil as a threat, and why that misreading is dangerous
  • You will learn how a warning system can fail even when scattered signs were visible beforehand
  • You will ask better questions of any crisis: what did the people in charge miss, and what did they fail to understand

Who it is for

  • News followers who want the inside story, not commentary
  • Readers who follow national security and wonder how decisions get made
  • Managers who want to study leadership under pressure
