HIRSCHBEIN Ron
What if they gave a crisis and nobody came? Interpreting international crises - Westport, Conn., USA: Praeger, 1997 - 223p.
Seeks to demonstrate that international crises have been and will continue to be construed by leaders as heroic tests of their pre-conceived destiny. In this way, crises have become an accepted institution, an unquestioned social practice which has strong personal and political incentives to sustain it. This hypothesis is illustrated by case studies from the J F Kennedy and Nixon administrations.
