Additional text
Narrativized Strategic Choice provides an intense examination of strategic choice in warfare. DeRosa broadens the understanding of strategic choice by carefully analyzing seven cases within the nuclear arms control realm to demonstrate that narratives better explain strategic choice compared to traditional models. Well structured, researched, and documented, this book is highly recommended for the strategist community.
