Despite an abundance of literature on Richard Nixon, the man behind the most spectacular crash-and-burn career of modern political history has remained an enigma. What lay behind his obsessive hunger for power and control, his paranoid attacks against enemies real and perceived, his refusal to accept defeat? Why did a man who had achieved so much feel so unfulfilled even at the height of his power? And what drove the president responsible for such triumphs as the opening of relations with China to the depths of the most devastating political scandal in American history? Richard Nixon:...

While applied analysis has been met with scepticism and inhibition in the psychopolitical sphere, this lag has been overcome, and more than made up for, by the leap forward contributed by the authors of this volume. The dynamics and psychopathology of large group behavior, including conflicts between nations, can now take their place in depth understanding alongside that of the individual. The result, expanding Freud's Group Psychology, is an inestimable advance in the reach of psychoanalysis.
