Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. Why do nations pursue wars they cannot win? Why do smart people believe in broken systems? And why does military logic collapse under its own weight when tested in real-world conflicts? In this tightly constructed sequence of essays, the author investigates the forces that shape modern warfare - not just on the battlefield, but in the minds of those who plan, authorize, and endure it. Drawing on case studies that span empires, ideologies, and centuries, the book examines the psychological illusions, historical patterns, and institutional failures that turn modern militaries into instruments of self-deception. The chapters move through interlocking themes: the myth of control in combat, the enduring influence of narrative and morale, the seductive promise of high-tech solutions, and the fatalism of nuclear strategy. With sharply observed detail and unflinching argument, the essays expose how even rational actors fall into spirals of escalation, overreach, and denial. One section explores how nations like Britain, France, Germany, and the United States each constructed identities of military dominance - and what happens when that identity no longer fits reality. Another turns inward, asking why realism is so often ignored, and how war persists as a system even after it fails in its aims. The final, unified chapter - The Psychology of War - synthesizes the larger themes into a coherent, unsettling framework: war as a cultural, emotional, and political structure too powerful to dismantle, and too incoherent to control. This is not a book of platitudes or policy prescriptions. It is a map of errors - of the ways thinking goes wrong under pressure, and of the patterns that emerge when history refuses to listen. Readers interested in military theory, political psychology, state power, or modern geopolitics will find in these essays a demanding but deeply rewarding analysis of how war works - and why we keep getting it wrong.Approximately 60 pages.
