If anyone is interested in reading a modern, hopefully fictional take of a similar situation, I recommend the 2020 Commission Report by Jeffery Lewis.

I wouldn't. Seems to me that the author is cashing in on his ability to fear-monger rather than providing something of substantial value.

I found value in understanding how disconnected chains of command/advising can impact decision making, as well as lessons in assuming how your adversaries will interpret your actions is not always correct.

It certainly is an approachable layman's novel, not an academic piece.

Definitely worth the few hours it took to read.
