I saw this as a reference in "Blair, Bush, and the Problem of Political Judgment" by Laurence Prusak, Harvard Business Review, 2 September 2010. Read full review

Review: Thinking in Time: The Uses of History for Decision-Makers

User Review  - Raymond - Goodreads

Its a good book but very dry reading and nothing really eye-opening. We are all told history repeats itself, they just wrote a book about how. I wouldn't really recommend this book unless you doubt how history always comes back and never experienced it yourself. Read full review
