Set against the backdrop of the Cold War, the narrative explores the collaboration between the U.S. government and a group of behavioral scientists tasked with understanding and influencing enemy behavior. These experts provided insights that shaped military strategies during the Korean War and Vietnam, while also fostering a narrative that demonized communist societies. Ron Robin delves into how their American-centric views on human behavior impacted U.S. perspectives on domestic unrest and global insurgencies, revealing the profound implications of their work.
