Can an intelligent person think the unthinkable as a viable possibility? This investigation into the psychology of defense planners and cabinet members is interesting and frightening. An advanced undergraduate or graduate textbook. Singleton (applied psychology, U. of Aston in Birmingham) covers the psychological aspects of people at work, emphasizing the radical changes in work practices stimulated by high technology systems and computerization.
