More about the book

Focusing on historical military disintegration, the book explores six significant events, including the India Mutiny of 1857 and the My Lai massacre in 1968. It identifies four foundational processes leading to disintegration: leadership failure, the breakdown of internal groups, troop alienation, and desperation. The final chapter analyzes the resulting crowd behaviors and delves into the moral dilemmas faced by military institutions during such crises. Through this lens, the author provides a comprehensive understanding of the complexities surrounding military cohesion and breakdown.
