The Blind Tyrants: How (Mis)information has Shifted the Tides of War

Shall we play a game?

No, this is not a 1980s film about Mattew Broderick staving off nuclear disaster, but another age-old game that we have been playing since humanity existed: war. As with the board game with the same name, war involves risks, either taking them or accepting them based on the cards you are dealt. Unlike the board game, however, the fog of war clouds the capabilities of the enemy, and leaders risk either diving headfirst into a body of cool water, or solid concrete.
