About this book

This book explores the 'mental maps' of leading political figures of the era of two world wars. Chapters focus on those giants whose ideas cast a compelling shadow: Lloyd George, Lenin, Mussolini, Hitler, Roosevelt, Churchill, Briand and Stresemann, as well as other important figures: Poincaré, Atatuerk, Beneš, Chiang and Mao.

Reviews

'This fine collection of essays on the 'mental maps' of key statesmen during the inter-war period makes an important

contribution to this new approach ... a stimulating and extremely useful set of essays.'

- Peter Jackson, English Historical Review

'A stimulating and highly coherent set of essays illuminating the intellectual formation and world views of leading policy-makers. Specialists and students alike will profit greatly from reading it.' - Patrick Finney, University of Wales Aberystwyth, UK.
