Dust Jacket With Light Wear, Closed 1/4" Tear At Bottom Of Front Panel. "The Simple Purpose Of This Book Is To Add My Small Contribution To Our Understanding Of The Political Leadership In A Country Whose Prospects For Political Integration And Stability Remain Dim But Not Hopeless". However, An Understanding Of The Political Situation Will Only Come From The Identification Of Those Individuals Who Control The Country's Politics, It's Regional Politics, And It's Local Politics, Those Thousands And Thousands, Not From Understanding Some Arguably True Generalizations About Their Activities. This Is Because The Generalizations Can Only Lead One To Try To Improve The System In A Responsible Direction, Which Is A Direction That No Political Animal Will Submit To Being Lead. These Animals Must Be Identified, Their Activities Identified And Publicized, And Denigrated And Humiliated For Their Incompetence And Selfishness Before The Individual Voters, Parties, And, Well, Prosecutors, Will Take Appropriate Action. This Is Not Done By Mob Action, As The Failures Of The French, Russian And Other Revolutions Clearly Show; It Requires Continued Identification And Examination Of Elites, Forever, For It Is The Nature Of Human Political Actors To Be Insufferable Beasts.
