The public and politicians need to understand why we have often failed in using military force and the causes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFrom that understanding, hopefully, future administrations will be better prepared when considering the most vexing decision to employ force and send Americans into battle. The twin causes have been the failure to think strategically and to have sufficient knowledge and understanding when deciding on the use of force.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eInterestingly, this failure applies to both Republicans and Democrats alike and seems inherent in our national DNA as we continue to ignore past mistakes. By examining the records of presidents from John F. Kennedy to Barack Obama in using force or starting wars, it becomes self-evident why we fail. The argument is reinforced by autobiographical vignettes that provide a human dimension and insight into the reasons for failure, in some cases making public previously unknown history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe recommendations and solutions offered in \u003cem\u003eAnatomy of Failure\u003c\/em\u003e begin with a framework for a brains-based approach to strategic thinking and then address specific bureaucratic, political, organisational and cultural deficiencies that have reinforced this propensity for failure. The clarion call of the book is that both a sound strategic framework and sufficient knowledge and understanding of the circumstances that may lead to using force are vital. Without them, failure is virtually guaranteed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47000535990508,"sku":"9781682472255","price":69.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/425823482787.jpg?v=1763282103"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.live\/collections\/harlan-ullman.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
