Deadlocked Wars: How Major Powers Misread the Regions They Attacked is a good analysis of how Putin and Trump have made similar mistakes in the wars they’ve chosen to fight (Putin in Ukraine, Trump in Iran).
On a micro-level, it’s also a good analysis of when teachers make the mistake of getting into a power struggle with a student – a struggle that can never be won by a teacher. It may appear like we have, but the resentment created will always poison the atmosphere.
If you want some ideas of what to do instead, check out Good Classroom Management Advice: “The Person Who Asks The Questions Controls The Conversation” and Four Lessons From Community Organizing That Have Served My Students & Me Well Over The Years.
In fact, both Putin and Trump would be well-served if they checked out those posts, too, and applied the lessons there in their political situation (of course, I understand that would never happen in a million years).
I’m adding this info to Best Posts On Classroom Management.
