Reviews

Dr. Steinberg is a gifted pscyhobiographer and the three leadership portraits she sketches are compelling. Jerrold M. Post, The Elliot School of International Affairs, The George Washington University "A major advance in the study of political leadership, Steinberg's book breaks new ground in that it proceeds systematically to establish empirical links between personality and political leadership style." Aubrey Immelman, College of Saint Benedict, Saint John's University
