En savoir plus sur le livre

The book delves into the phenomenon of powerful states yielding to aggressors, examining three historical instances of appeasement: the Greek city-states' surrender to Philip II, Britain's failure to confront Nazi Germany, and America's ongoing struggles with Islamic jihad and Iran. It critiques the vulnerabilities of democracies, highlighting their tendency to prioritize short-term gains over long-term security. Central to the analysis is the danger of misguided ideas, such as idealism and reliance on diplomacy, which can lead to catastrophic outcomes in foreign policy.
