Reviews

“This book is a hugely ambitious and very wide-ranging summary of no fewer than fifteen visions of political leadership, from Richard Nixon to Nelson Mandela. Mental Maps in the Era of Détente tackles a very important topic and its pen-portraits would make an extremely useful teaching aid.” (James Cameron, History - Journal of the Historical Association, December, 2016)
