Presidential Leadership, Illness, and Decision Making 免费 夸克云 mobi azw3 pdf 下载 chm snb

　　Examines the impact of medical and psychological illness on

foreign policy decision making. Illness provides specific,

predictable, and recognizable shifts in attention, time

perspective, cognitive capacity, judgment, and emotion, which

systematically affect impaired leaders. In particular, this book

discusses the ways in which processes related to aging, physical

and psychological illness, and addiction influence decision making.

This book provides detailed analysis of four cases among the

American presidency. Woodrow Wilson's October 1919 stroke affected

his behavior during the Senate fight over ratifying the League of

Nations. Franklin Roosevelt's severe coronary disease influenced

his decisions concerning the conduct of war in the Pacific from

1943–1945 in particular. John Kennedy's illnesses and treatments

altered his behavior at the 1961 Vienna conference with Soviet

Premier Khrushchev. And Nixon's psychological impairments biased

his decisions regarding the covert bombing of Cambodia in

1969–1970.

书籍介绍

This book is about how illness affects the behavior of American presidents. It discusses four cases in American history of presidential decision making being affected by illness. The main purpose of this book is to show that health problems have a bigger impact on important political decisions than people may have realized. This book differs from the competition because it focuses primarily on foreign policy, where a president has greater freedom of authority, and also features detailed analysis of historical case studies.
