The Lessons of Tragedy

"The Lessons of Tragedy" is a powerful reminder to draw on the lessons of the past to address current threats to international order. The authors delve into the ancient Greek's approach of creating a communal sense of responsibility and courage by looking disaster directly in the face. The book argues that today's society has lost touch with tragedy, forgetting that violence and war have been all too common throughout human history. This poignant argument is a call to action for America and its allies to regain an appreciation of tragedy before it's too late.
