Bücher von Steven Johnston

In this book, political theorist Steve Johnston explores Lincoln's thought and political philosophy, but also his intentional and shrewdly calculated ambiguity - enabling him to be maximally politically effective in the face of unprecedented challenges.

This book looks at why Frank Capra's It's a Wonderful Life is either the most inspirational or the cruelest film American cinema has ever produced. It depicts, perhaps unwittingly, an ontological war in which two well-matched adversaries fight a series of pitched battles that neither side can win without producing tragic remainders.
