Great powers are not supposed to lose wars, so how do leaders
explain military defeat when it happens? "Media and the Politics of
Failure" analyzes the American experience in Vietnam and the Soviet
experience in Afghanistan to draw larger conclusions about how and
why political leaders explain the end of military involvement. In
spite of differences in political and media systems, there are
remarkable similarities between American and Soviet leaders'
communication strategies. Great power identity and domestic
politics shape an explanation of withdrawal that emphasizes success
and invokes prestige. The factors that shape the construction of
the story did not disappear with the end of the Cold War, thus this
work offers important insights for current American and Russian
military efforts.
