Conflict: How Soldiers Make Impossible Decisions (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9780190623449)

Conflict: How Soldiers Make Impossible Decisions is about making hard choices--where all outcomes are potentially negative. The authors draw on interviews conducted with soldiers about the situations they faced and the decisions they made in war. These vivid and sometimes distressing stories allow the authors to explore the cognitive processes associated with choice, goal-directed thinking, innovation, and courage. Conflict invites readers to consider their own responses under extreme circumstances and ask themselves how they would choose between difficult options. In doing so, this book will go some way to helping readers understand what it feels like when choosing between least-worst decisions.
