Dictators in the Mirror of Medicine: Napoleon, Hitler, Stalin
Editorial Reviews
Burton C. Einspruch, M.D., Journal of the American Medical Association
"Neumayr's purpose in this extensive, carefully studied psycho-biography of Napoleon Bonaparte, Hitler, and Stalin is to subject to medical study the 'spectacular rise and catastrophic fall of each of these despots.' Neumayrcapture(s) Hitler's personalityits cool narcissistic, alienated, and sadistic burdensand his voyeuristic and underdeveloped patterns of sexual intimacy that are the hallmarks of Hitler as a limited and distant person. Neumayr vividly describes Hitler's overall physical and psychological deterioration as the war proceeded against the Nazi forcesmakes good reading. Neumayr's work adds another prism through which to view fascinating protagonists who have left indelible marks upon society."
Rosemary A. Stevens, PhD, New England Journal of Medicine
"The style is engaging. The lives of these men dramatically and horrifically unfold. There is little overarching analysis. Some powerful themes come through: the ability of these men to rationalize crimes away; their feelings of omnipotence; the dangerous narcissism of believing one is chosen by fate; the lure of the fanatic at a time of chaos."
