A Brief History of Great Power Subversion

Produktbeschreibung

In A Measure Short of War, Jill Kastner and William C. Wohlforth provide a compelling history of subversion--domestic interference to undermine or manipulate a rival--by exploring two thousand years of mischief and manipulation in world politics. They illustrate subversion's allure, its operational possibilities, and the means for fighting back against it. This primer on the history of subversive statecraft in great power rivalry will leave readers smarter about foreign meddling and better able to navigate between the twin temptations of insouciance and overreaction.
