Mass market paperback. Fading on covers. Browing on pages edges. Good. This is an account of the "Waldheim Affair", which for six months in 1986 cast a spotlight on Austria. As Kurt Waldheim, former Secretary-General of the United Nations ran for President, so fragments of his hitherto undisclosed wartime career in the German army came to light, bringing with them allegations that he had been involved in atrocities carried out in the Balkans. The author who was Central European Correspondent of "The Times", describes the post-imperial heritage of 20th century Austria and gives an account of how the Austrians reacted to the rise of Nazism and to Anschluss. He believes this historical background is essential to understanding the reaction of Austrians to the accusations levelled against Waldheim

the author explores the changes in the historical role of the president since 1945. He argues that after 1945, the outbreak of the Cold War and setting up the CIA gave the president power in the name of, but not always with the consent of, the people. Paranoia is another theme. From Truman's and Kennedy's fear of Communism, through to Johnson's and Nixon's fears of political rivals. The impact of Watergate through Ford and Carter is examined, as is the reassertion of strong presidential leadership under Reagan and Bush
