Where you stand is where you sit.
Using the Cuban missile crisis of 1962, the author describes how an individual's political philosophy influences their political stance. Graham Allison coined the phrase "where you stand is where you sit." It's a compelling story and applicable in understanding today's crises.

How groups think
One for the foreign policy nerds, and for obvious reasons a bit old fashioned, but thoughtful, insightful, with some great anecdotes - a very good guide to different types of individual, group and institutional decision-making under pressure. It also has a wider applicability to any large-scale organisation (corporate, governmental, NGO).
