Download or read book War Games written by Leo Murray and published by Biteback Publishing. This book was released on 2018-02-01 with total page 245 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The human brain is hard-wired with a primal aversion to killing. Amid the horror of war even the best-trained soldiers can forget their training. Vast effort and countless sums have been spent in the attempt to keep our men fighting. Military psychologist Leo Murray argues that the real question is: 'How do we make the enemy stop fighting?' Weaving together intense first-hand accounts of combat with the hard science of tactical psychology, Murray offers a compelling insight into how war affects the human mind. War Games is both a powerful glimpse through the eyes of our soldiers and an urgent reminder that the future of modern warfare lies in understanding how the enemy thinks. Fascinating and often chilling, this is the story of how psychology wins wars.

Book Synopsis Science of Coercion by : Christopher Simpson
Download or read book Science of Coercion written by Christopher Simpson and published by Open Road Media. This book was released on 2015-03-03 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A provocative and eye-opening study of the essential role the US military and the Central Intelligence Agency played in the advancement of communication studies during the Cold War era, now with a new introduction by Robert W. McChesney and a new preface by the author Since the mid-twentieth century, the great advances in our knowledge about the most effective methods of mass communication and persuasion have been visible in a wide range of professional fields, including journalism, marketing, public relations, interrogation, and public opinion studies. However, the birth of the modern science of mass communication had surprising and somewhat troubling midwives: the military and covert intelligence arms of the US government. In this fascinating study, author Christopher Simpson uses long-classified documents from the Pentagon, the CIA, and other national security agencies to demonstrate how this seemingly benign social science grew directly out of secret government-funded research into psychological warfare. It reveals that many of the most respected pioneers in the field of communication science were knowingly complicit in America’s Cold War efforts, regardless of their personal politics or individual moralities, and that their findings on mass communication were eventually employed for the purposes of propaganda, subversion, intimidation, and counterinsurgency. An important, thought-provoking work, Science of Coercion shines a blazing light into a hitherto remote and shadowy corner of Cold War history.

Book Synopsis The Psychology of War by : John Thompson Maccurdy
Download or read book The Psychology of War written by John Thompson Maccurdy and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-06-13 with total page 78 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Psychology of War The conduct of modern warfare demands the co-operation of practically every science. Engineering, chemistry, bacteriology and agriculture are all needed. Even the sanctity of home is invaded, and domestic economy regulated. But behind all the sciences stands the human factor, infinitely the most important of all. On the behaviour of the private in the trenches, the officer in his dug-out, the mechanic at his lathe, and the woman in the kitchen depends the victory. What science can explain how and why they act, or in what way their mental attitudes are altered? Again, before hostilities emerge, something must happen; no meteorological or terrestrial event can cause war, it must be a change in the mind of man. Are the forces which make war and decide its issue to lie uninvestigated? Is mankind going to accept this staggering burden, or attempt solution of its problem merely by wishing for peace? There is a science ambitious enough to hope for an answer to each of these questions. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Synopsis The Psychology of Innovation in Organizations by : David H. Cropley
Download or read book The Psychology of Innovation in Organizations written by David H. Cropley and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2015-07-22 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In today's highly competitive market, organizations increasingly need to innovate in order to survive. Drawing on a wealth of psychological research in the field of creativity, David H. Cropley and Arthur J. Cropley illustrate practical methods for conceptualizing and managing organizational innovation. They present a dynamic model of the interactions between four key components of creativity - product, person, process, and press - which function as building blocks of innovation. This volume sheds new light on the nature of innovative products and the processes that generate them, the psychological characteristics of innovative people, and the environments that facilitate innovation. It also fills a significant gap in the current literature by addressing the paradoxical quality of organizational innovation, which may be both helped and hindered by the same factors. The authors demonstrate that with proper measurement and management, organizations can effectively encourage individuals to produce and take advantage of novel ideas.

Download or read book On Killing written by Dave Grossman and published by Open Road Media. This book was released on 2014-04-01 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A controversial psychological examination of how soldiers’ willingness to kill has been encouraged and exploited to the detriment of contemporary civilian society. Psychologist and US Army Ranger Dave Grossman writes that the vast majority of soldiers are loath to pull the trigger in battle. Unfortunately, modern armies, using Pavlovian and operant conditioning, have developed sophisticated ways of overcoming this instinctive aversion. The mental cost for members of the military, as witnessed by the increase in post-traumatic stress, is devastating. The sociological cost for the rest of us is even worse: Contemporary civilian society, particularly the media, replicates the army’s conditioning techniques and, Grossman argues, is responsible for the rising rate of murder and violence, especially among the young. Drawing from interviews, personal accounts, and academic studies, On Killing is an important look at the techniques the military uses to overcome the powerful reluctance to kill, of how killing affects the soldier, and of the societal implications of escalating violence.

Download or read book Ideas as Weapons written by G. J. David and published by Potomac Books, Inc.. This book was released on 2011-09 with total page 681 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The United States has struggled to define its approach to what has been called the "information battlefield" since the information era began. Yet with the outbreak of the war on terror, the United States has been violently challenged to take a position and react to the militants' use of emerging information technology. Ideological demigods operating against the United States now have unprecedented channels by which to disseminate their message to those targets who are uncertain, sympathetic, or actively supportive of their philosophy. From the caves of southeastern Afghanistan to the streets of Baghdad, "the message" has dominated the thinking of those who perpetrate horrific acts of violence, whether in the name of ideology, ethnic and sectarian partisanship, or religion. This anthology is divided into four sections: geopolitical, strategic, operational, and tactical. The geopolitical perspective covers world politics, diplomacy, and the elements of national power, excluding military force. The strategic view examines where the violence has begun and the military element of power. The operational perspective handles the campaigns to accomplish a specific purpose on the world stage--for example, as in the Iraq campaign. The tactical level takes the individual's role into account. Because the nexus of information conflict is most easily seen in the world's contemporary violent confrontations, this anthology reflects the experience and lessons learned by military personnel who have managed these difficult issues. With a foreword by Colonel H. R. McMaster, U.S. Army, the author of Dereliction of Duty: Johnson, McNamara, the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and the Lies That Led to Vietnam.
