| 520 | _a"Behind the Mirrors: The Psychology of Disintegration at Washington" by Gilbert is a political analysis written in the early 20th century. This work explores the political landscape and psychological tendencies within American governance during a tumultuous post-World War I period, focusing particularly on the presidency of Warren G. Harding and the shifting dynamics of political power. It delves into themes such as the illusion of progress, the role of business in politics, and the implications of autocratic leadership on American democracy. The opening of the book sets the stage by highlighting President Harding's decision regarding daylight saving time as a metaphor for the broader uncertainties and divisions in the American political consciousness. Gilbert uses this decision to illustrate Harding's characteristic cautiousness and to question the limits of governmental authority in relation to societal expectations. The text provides a snapshot of the complexities surrounding governance at that time, suggesting a populace struggling to make sense of a post-war reality while grappling with the growing influence of business interests and the challenge of maintaining true democratic principles in an era of political disintegration.
