Synopsis
Surveying the vast spectrum of our recorded past, Barbara Tuchman now traces and explores one of the most compelling paradoxes of history: the recurring pursuit by governments of policies contrary to their own interests. ... Tuchman distinguishes folly from other types of misgovernment and identifies its hallmark: the self-destructive act carried out despite the availability of a recognized and feasible alternative.
