Warnings by Richard A. Clarke
Finding Cassandras to Stop Catastrophes
A clear, urgent argument that modern societies repeatedly fail to act on credible warnings, leading to preventable catastrophes. The book analyzes why “Cassandras” — experts who foresee dangers — are often ignored, explores the political, bureaucratic, and cognitive barriers that silence them, and uses historical case studies across terrorism, pandemics, cyber and nuclear threats to illustrate the human and institutional costs of inaction. It concludes with practical recommendations for reforming how governments and organizations evaluate, prioritize, and respond to warnings so plausible threats are taken seriously before they become disasters.
