DESCRIPTION:Why did France lose to the Nazis\, despite the allies having m
 ore tanks\, troops\, and guns? How did Ukraine repel Russia’s initial on
 slaught? In his new book\, Warhead\, Wright journeys through the brain to 
 show us how it shapes human behaviour in conflict and war. Cutting-edge re
 search comes to life through battle stories from history: What was it like
  for American or Chinese foot soldiers in World War Two? How did leaders l
 ike Churchill or Eisenhower make wiser decisions? Courage\, leadership\, d
 eception\, cooperation… The brains with which we live our everyday lives
  are built for conflict: in the office or on the battlefield. How will hum
 an conflict shape our future technologies? In an increasingly dangerous wo
 rld that threatens our values and success\, we must understand why we huma
 ns fight\, lose and win wars. So that we can build a more peaceful world t
 hrough self-knowledge. Warhead’s interdisciplinary approach has received
  kind praise from leading thinkers on war such as Sir Lawrence Freedman\, 
 Beatrice Heuser and Sir David Omand\, as well as from leading neuroscienti
 sts such as Karl Friston and Chris Frith.
