In a long and distinguished career that has included professorships at Brandeis, Columbia, MIT, Colle’ge de France, and working for UNESCO in Paris, Rudolph Binion has demonstrated an enormous breadth and range of historical and psychohistorical knowledge. His Frau Lou: Nietzsche’s Wayward Disciple (1968) and Hitler Among the Germans (1976) are psychohistorical achievements of the first order. For almost three decades his primary focus has been to go beyond individual to group psychology—his “De Gaulle as Pétain” is a prime example of this.
