About the book
Richard Hanania applies public choice theory to dismantle myths about the formulation of modern political and military strategy. The author argues that government decisions are often driven by particular interests and group dynamics rather than rational strategic calculations.
With analytical rigor, Hanania questions official narratives and offers an alternative reading of international politics, showing how a real understanding of institutional behavior forces us to completely rethink our expectations about state competence.
