This book sets out to explain the variation in nations' reactions
to their defeats in war. Typically, we observe two broad reactions
to defeat: an inward-oriented response that accepts defeat as a
reality and utilizes it as an opportunity for a new beginning, and
an outward-oriented one that rejects defeat and invests national
energies in restoring what was lost-most likely by force. This
volume argues that although defeats in wars are humiliating
experiences, those sentiments do not necessarily trigger aggressive
nationalism, empower radical parties, and create revisionist
foreign policy. Post-defeat, radicalization will be actualized only
if it is filtered through three variables: national self-images
(inflated or realistic), political parties (strong or weak), and
international opportunities and constraints. The author tests this
theory on four detailed case studies, Egypt (1967), Turkey/Ottoman
Empire, Hungary and Bulgaria (WWI), and Islamic fundamentalism.
