Small inscription FPD, else content appears as unread and unblemished with very near fine, gray, cloth covered board displaying no significant surface/edge wear in DJ displaying moderate surface/edge wear as shown, with repaired & reinforced chipping & small tears.Drawing on a comprehensive array of examples, from Montezuma's senseless surrender of his empire in 1520 to Japans attack on Pearl Harbor, Barbara W. Tuchman defines folly as the pursuit by government of policies contrary to their own interests, despite the availability of feasible alternatives. In brilliant detail, Tuchman illuminates four decisive turning points in history that illustrate the very heights of folly: the Trojan War, the breakup of the Holy See provoked by the Renaissance popes, the loss of the American colonies by Britain's George III, and the United States own persistent mistakes in Vietnam. Throughout The March of Folly, Tuchman's incomparable talent for animating the people, places, and events of history is on spectacular display.

Through a wide range of historical examples in which this paradox has been manifest - from the dispersion of the ten tribes of Israel (930 B.C) and Montezuma's senseless surrender of his empire (1520) to Japan's attack on Perl Harbor - Mrs. 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. . . .
