Prior experiences a late-summer idyll, some days of perfect beauty, before the final battles in a war that has destroyed most of his generation. In London, Prior's psychologist, William Rivers, tends to his new patients, more young men whose lives and minds have been shattered. And remembers the primitive society on Eddystone Island where he studied as an anthropologist before the war. Gathering together both experiences, he sees the gulf between them narrow...

This book is the first comprehensive comparison of these two powerful elites. In seven countries--the United States, Great Britain, France, Germany, Sweden, Italy, and the Netherlands--researchers questioned 700 bureaucrats and 6OO politicians in an effort to understand how their aims, attitudes, and ambitions differ within cultural settings. One of the authors' most significant findings is that the worlds of these two elites overlap much more in the United States than in Europe. But throughout the West bureaucrats and politicians each wear special blinders and each have special virtues. In a well-ordered polity, the authors conclude, politicians articulate society's dreams and bureaucrats bring them gingerly to earth. 517 3 $aBureaucrats & politicians in Western democracies 606 $aGovernment executives$zEurope 606 $aGovernment executives$zUnited States 606 $aPoliticians$zEurope 606 $aPoliticians$zUnited States 615 0$aGovernment executives 615 0$aGovernment executives 615 0$aPoliticians 615 0$aPoliticians 676 $a320.094 700 $aAberbach$b Joel D$0141839 701 $aPutnam$b Robert D$0124930 701 $aRockman$b Bert A$0141840 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910973466603321 996 $aBureaucrats and politicians in western democracies$94358472 997 $aUNINA
