Author:	Rose McDermott
Publisher:	Cambridge ; New York : Cambridge University Press, 2008.
Edition/Format:	eBook : Document : EnglishView all editions and formats
Summary:	"This book examines the impact of medical and psychological illness on foreign policy decision making. 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 the cases of four American presidents. 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 to 1945 in particular. John Kennedy's illnesses and treatments altered his behavior at the 1961 Vienna conference with Soviet premier Nikita Khrushchev. And Richard Nixon's psychological impairments biased his decisions regarding the covert bombing of Cambodia in 1969-1970"--Jacket.  Read more...
