Descrição do livro

What happens when the most powerful people on Earth are also, quite possibly, the least qualified to be holding anything more dangerous than a television remote?

WAR and IDIOTS is a darkly absurd political satire about ego, power, bad decisions, worse advice, and humanity’s remarkable ability to turn a manageable problem into an extinction-level event before breakfast.

The world is tense. Old enemies are circling. Nuclear submarines are quietly moving into position. Generals are staring nervously at radar screens. Somewhere, someone has opened a folder they probably should have left closed.

And at the center of it all is a larger-than-life American president who approaches international diplomacy with the confidence of a casino owner arguing with a buffet manager.

When a rapidly escalating crisis threatens to become the biggest military confrontation in human history, presidents, generals, oligarchs, family members, bureaucrats, submariners, survivalists, and assorted idiots are forced to make decisions for which civilization may shortly receive the bill.

There are missiles.

There are bunkers.

There are secret launch protocols.

There are extremely serious military officers attempting to prevent the end of the world while considerably less serious people worry about fast food, personal branding, television ratings, job titles, golf, desserts, and whether nuclear war could perhaps be rescheduled for normal business hours.

Unfortunately, the missiles do not appear interested in rescheduling.

From the freezing depths of the North Atlantic to the halls of power, underground command centers, doomed cities, and whatever remains afterward, WAR and IDIOTS follows humanity as it discovers an uncomfortable truth: civilization may have spent thousands of years developing technology capable of destroying the planet without spending nearly enough time developing people smart enough not to use it.

Part geopolitical thriller, part apocalyptic comedy, and part warning label that someone forgot to stick on the human race, WAR and IDIOTS takes the machinery of global politics seriously—even when absolutely nobody operating that machinery deserves the courtesy.

It is a story about authoritarianism, nationalism, nuclear weapons, loyalty, incompetence, survival, and the dangerous moment when confidence becomes indistinguishable from stupidity.

Because when world leaders start behaving like children, the problem isn’t that someone might lose the game.

It’s that they’re playing with nuclear weapons.

WAR and IDIOTS: a modern satire of epic political achievements in failures.
