Pelinka on leadership,
By Orelia (USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Politics of the Lesser Evil: Leadership, Democracy, and Jaruzelski's Poland (Hardcover)
Pelinka is one of the most poetic political writers I have ever read. He clearly takes on the leadership of Poland, both defending it and tearing it apart at the same time. Although the book's title, would lead you to believe that it is just about Jaruzelski, Pelinka provides an in-depth analysis of international leadership and the role of "democracy" in Eastern Europe and in the internationl arena. He brings in bits from every area of study and introduces new views on international politics that I have rarely seen. One of the most memorable anectdotes is what Hitler told the Lord Halifax of Great Britain to do about civil uprising in India, "Shoot Ghandi." Although I stumbled upon it for a research paper, I now have the book in my library and consider it a necesary component--much more valuable than Huntington or Kant.
