Hardcover. Condizione: Good. Condizione sovraccoperta: Good - Original. FIRST EDITION & FIRST PRINTING. Just over a year after the death of Sir Winston Churchill in 1965, his personal physician, Lord Moran, published Winston Churchill: the Struggle for Survival 1940 - 1960. Moran's 800 page book was based on the diaries he had kept. Moran was vilified and excoriated for this; not only had be betrayed confidences, but he had broken the sacred bond of doctor-patient confidentiality. Some month later, when his critics had read the book, they saw that Churchill had been severely ill for periods during WWII with pneumonia, and had had, significant episodes of depression, the 'black dog', and that is to set aside Churchill's alcohol consumption; we would say today that Churchill was at times 'not fit for purpose'. Moran also revealed that Churchill had had a major stroke in 1953, from which he made a slow and incomplete recovery. At this time a cabal of press barons conspired to prevent the news reaching the attention of the public. Is such secrecy acceptable today? Alarmingly, does it still happen? - Following Moran's revelations, Dr Hugh L'Etang published The Pathology of Leadership in 1969, referring particularly to the health of Presidents of America and British Prime Ministers. L'Etang noted, in the period up to the publication of the book, since 1908, eleven out of thirteen British Premiers and six out of ten American Presidents have had illnesses while in office which have incapacitated them to some degree. - For instance, L'Etang described how Woodrow Wilson was an inflexible person, though his first term as President was largely uneventful. In his second term, Wilson attended the Peace conference at Versailles, where his mental rigidity was much more marked. Wilson had a severe stroke in 1919 after a number of prodromal episodes. He remained incapacitated, and for the remainder of his term of office, his duties were sustained by a triumvirate of the First Lady, Wilson's physician and secretary. - Franklin Roosevelt is the only American to have won four presidential elections. By the start of his fourth term he was mortally ill from severe hypertension (raised blood pressure) and heart and kidney failure. At the Yalta peace conference in February 1945, when he, Stalin and Churchill were redrawing the map of post-war Europe, Roosevelt was easily outmaneuvered by Stalin, while Churchill was strangely passive. Roosevelt died two months later; the severity of his illness had been kept hidden from the American public. - Original dustjacket retains price to front prelim.
