It explores how Soldiers choose between seemingly impossible options where all outcomes look horrendous, by drawing on interviews conducted with real Soldiers about real situations they faced. Their vivid and sometimes upsetting stories were part of the experience of war and became part of their identity. The book describes the processes that make choice selection so difficult, the psychology of decisional conflict, and the immediate, short, and longer term behavioral consequences of these actions. Special attention will be directed to the concept of 'decision inertia' - one of several kinds of 'failures to act' in which decision makers are unable to calculate and/or commit to a least-worst course of action. By referring to many real cases we invite the reader to consider their own responses to choosing between difficult options, in order to help them understand what it might feel like when you are faced with making a least-worst decision at war"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (pages 191-210) and index. 505 0 $a Decisional conflict: from best to least-worst -- Military decision making: doctrine, rationality and field-based approaches -- The science of selecting least-worst options -- Situational awareness -- Formulating plans -- Executing plans -- Team learning -- Least-worst decision making "in extremis" -- Thoughts that haunt -- How do soldiers do what they do and what can we learn from them?. 650 0 $a War $x Decision making. 650 0 $a Combat $x Psychological aspects. 650 0 $a Soldiers $x Psychology. 650 0 $a Psychology, Military. 650 7 $a Combat $x Psychological aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00868934 650 7 $a Psychology, Military. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01081605 650 7 $a Soldiers $x Psychology. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01125290 650 7 $a War $x Decision making. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01170334 700 1 $a Alison, Laurence J., $e author. 700 1 $a Moran, Joseph M., $e author. 776 08 $i Online version: $a Shortland, Neil D., author. $t Conflict $d New York : Oxford University Press, [2019] $z 9780190623456 $w (DLC) 2018047021 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191213021942.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20190702014454.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=0016328C9C8F11E981649E3E97128E48 994 $a 92 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
