The final chapter begins with a recapitulation of the four processes shown to be the foundations of disintegration-leadership failure, collapse of the units' internal primary groups, alienation, and desperation among the troops-and continues with an analysis of the crowd behaviors to which these processes give rise. The book ends with a brief discussion of the moral dilemma that disintegration imposes on military institutions.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51938156806432,"sku":"NEW0274656892","price":112.24,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/when-soldiers-quit-studies-in-military-disintegration-0274656892","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
