About this product
Product Information
From WWI to Operation Desert Storm, American policymakers have repeatedly invoked the 'lessons of history' as they contemplated taking their nation to war. This work argues that leaders use analogies not merely to justify policies but also to perform specific cognitive and information-processing tasks essential to political decision-making.
