Editorial Reviews:
Product Description Using as illustrative material the politcal conduct of a number of world leaders and politicians past and present - from Mao to Stafford Cripps and Lord Hailsham, from Stalin to Bill Clinton - Leo Abse claims it is masochism which is now finding expression in the self-destructiveness flooding our political landscape and our personal lives. Distilling thirty year's experience as a great social reformer in the British Commons, and deploying his acknowledged psychoanalytical scholarship, the veteran Socialist, here scrutinises this malaise which he affirms now afflicts Britain.
