Behind The Mirrors: The Psychology Of Disintegration At Washington

By Clinton Wallace Gilbert

Book Overview

Behind The Mirrors opens a window onto a nation's psyche and a city's façade, where power, doubt, and transparency collide. This is a thoughtful, accessible tour through psychological analysis and political commentary set against the Washington DC milieu. Gilbert frames early American politics as an intricate dance of perception and reality, offering social critique that feels both timely and timeless. The book blends essays on power and society with a rigorous, humane study of political psychology, inviting casual readers and scholars alike to see how institutions shape belief, behaviour, and public trust. A work of lasting literary and historical significance, it reads as both a scholarly reference and a vivid narrative about governance, reason, and the fragility of democratic ideals. Its lucid voice and empathic analyses make it a compelling college course reading, a quiet companion for literary collectors, and a rigorous touchstone for anyone tracing the anatomy of disintegration in washington and beyond. Selling points matter: out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions; restored for today's and future generations; more than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure. The book's approach-psychological analysis woven into political commentary and social critique-offers a rare, durable insight into early american politics and the broader panorama of political psychology classics. A thoughtful, galvanising addition to any bookshelf.
