Self-deception, that is the distortion of reality against the
available evidence and according to one's wishes, represents a
distinctive component in the wide realm of political deception. It
has received relatively little attention but is well worth
examining for its explanatory and normative dimensions. In this
book Anna Elisabetta Galeotti shows how self-deception can explain
political occurrences where public deception intertwines with
political failure - from bad decisions based on false beliefs,
through the self-serving nature of those beliefs, to the deception
of the public as a by-product of a leader's self-deception. Her
discussion uses close analysis of three well-known case studies:
John F. Kennedy and the Cuba Crisis, Lyndon B. Johnson and the Gulf
of Tonkin Resolution, and George W. Bush and the weapons of mass
destruction. Her book will appeal to a range of readers in
political philosophy, political theory, and international
relations.
