This fascinating book analyzes 13 control failures in human
history, from Robespierre 's promotion of the French Revolution, to
Hoover 's efforts to stop the Great Depression, to the intelligence
failures of 9/11. Assessing the causes of 10 additional historical
cases, the author 's comparative analysis shows how each leadership
failure was caused by an expansion of the "range" of control
attempts, their "scope," and/or their "diversity." A leader 's or
other actor 's attempts to broaden the range of control targets
have been most important in causing great human failures. The
analysis is timely during an era when war, global warming, and
other vexing problems plague our society. The analysis supports the
author 's contention that control could be the central notion of
the social and behavioral sciences.
