ISBN10: 0394527771, ISBN13: 9780394527772, [publisher: Alfred A. Knopf] Hardcover Through a vast spectrum of the recorded past, Tuchman traces and explores one of the most compelling paradoxes of history: the recurring pursuit by governments of policies contrary to their own interests. The book presents a wide range of historical examples in which this paradox has been manifest, none so pertinent as the American debacle in Vietnam. Tuchman anatomizes the thirty-year involvement, from FDR's initial, reluctant endorsement of French colonial rule in Indochina to Lyndon Johnson's insistence on military victory and the eventual uneasy escape. What emerges is a chronicle of self-hypnosis, cynicism, and loss of the 'necessary trust in government. Color and black and white illustrations. 447p.

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. . . .
