Please join the CSIS Strategic Technologies Program Thursday, September 11 from 1:00 - 2:00 pm for a conversation with Dr. Nicholas Wright about his new book, Warhead.
Why did France lose to the Nazis, despite its defenders having more tanks, troops, and guns? How did we bring peace to Germany after World War Two? How do you know if you can trust an ally? How can we make clearer decisions under pressure?
In Warhead, Nicholas Wright takes us on a fascinating journey through the brain to show us how it shapes our behaviour in conflict and war. Drawing on his work as a neuroscientist, and over a decade advising the Pentagon and the UK Government, Wright reveals that, whether we like it or not, the brain is wired for conflict – in the office or on the battlefield.
This event is made possible through general support to CSIS.
