Hardcover. ix, 397 p. Notes. Bibliography. Index. The author has adopted a psychoanalytical approach to politics and examined the impact of personality dynamics on the decision making of Lyndon Johnson, Richard Nixon and Dwight Eisenhower during the VIetnam War. The author focusses on the narcissistic personality, identifying it as intensely self-involved and preoccupied with success and recognition as a substitute for parental love. Steinberg contrasts Nixon and Johnson with Eisenhower, who was psychologically secure and was, therefore, able to carry out a careful and thoughtful analysis of the problem he faced in Indochina. "Steinberg makes an impressive case that presidential decision-making may be influenced not only by cognitive mind-sets and beliefs, but by psychodynamic variables.innovative in its interpretation, carefully argued, well researched, and engaging to read". Janice Stein, University of Toronto. Very good in very good dust jacket. Signed by author. N° de réf. du vendeur 63133
