Cloth. Condición: Fine. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Near Fine. First Edition. Hardback. First Edition. In Sickness and in Power. This book is a unique study of illness in heads of government between 1901-2077. It considers how illness and theraphy - both physical and mental - affect the process of government and decision-making, leading to acts of folly, in the sense of stupidity or rashness. The author is particularly interested in leaders who were not ill in the conventional sense, and whose cognitive faculties functioned well, but who developed what he calls a 'hubris syndrome', which powerfully affected their performance and their actions. Such leaders suffer a loss of capacity and become excessively self-confident and contemptuous of advice that runs counter to what they believe, or even of any advice at all. Long fascinated with the inter-relationship between politics and medicine, David Owen uses his deep knowledge of both to look at sickness in a wide variety of world political leaders. The book ends by outlining some of the safeguards that society needs to address as a consequence of illness in heads of government. This book sheds new light on familiar faces and events. It is a fascinating read for anyone with an interest in history or medicine. Illustrated. 420 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions, Reference books ,and all types of Academic Literature.).
