| Summary |
"'Winning Westeros' brings together expert strategists to engage with one of the most popular television series of our time: 'Game of Thrones.' By applying geopolitical and leadership theory and asking the question of 'what if?' the minds behind 'Winning Westeros' draw connections between the fantasy world and military strategy. Comparing magic to emerging technology, tamable dragons to nuclear weapons, and swords to guns, 'Winning Westeros' explores how strategies in 'Game of Thrones' can be applied to real world politics"-- Provided by publisher |
