About the book

Tuchman's The March of Folly examines historical examples in which governments persistently pursued policies contrary to their own interests. Drawing on episodes from ancient Troy to Vietnam, Tuchman asks why leaders continue along disastrous paths despite warnings and alternatives. The book is a study of political misjudgement and institutional blindness.
