"How do people decide which country came out ahead in a war or a crisis? Why was Mayaguez Incident in May 1975, where 41 U.S. soldiers were killed and dozens more wounded in a botched hostage rescue mission, perceived as a triumph and 1992-94 U.S. humanitarian intervention in Somalia, which saved thousands of lives, viewed as a disaster? In Failing to Win, Dominic Johnson and Dominic Tierney dissect psychological factors that predispose leaders, media, and public to perceive outcomes as victories or defeats, often creating wide gaps between perceptions and reality. They employ two frameworks: \"Score-keeping,\" which focuses on actual material gains and losses; and \"Match-fixing,\" where evaluations become skewed by mindsets, symbolic events, and media and elite spin. In case studies ranging from 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis and the current War on Terror, they show that much of what we accept about international politics and world history is not what it seems, and why, in a time when citizens offer or withdraw support based on an imagined view of the outcome rather than result on the ground, perceptions of success or failure can shape results of wars, fate of leaders, and \"lessons\" we draw from history--Publisher's description." . . . . . . . . . . . .
