Overconfidence And War
Johnson
Johnson argues that states are no more rational than people, who are susceptible to exaggerated ideas of their virtue, of the scope of their control, and of the future. By looking at such “positive illusions” in evolutionary biology, psychology, and politics of international conflict, this book offers compelling insights into why states wage war.
