Interestingly, the reason JFK did not launch a pre-emptive nuclear strike against ths USSR at the height of the cuban missile crisis= as advised by the Cheifs of Staff was that he had just finished reading Tuchman and saw how people could be drawn into a disastrous war if they didnt fully exhaust diplomacy...so he picked up the red phone and called...and we're all alive now because of it.
