Alexander L. George: A Pioneer in Political and Social Sciences

Alexander L. George was one of the most productive and respected political scientists of the late twentieth century. He and his wife, Juliette George, wrote one of the first psychobiographies, and Professor George went on to write seminal articles and books focusing on political psychology, the operational code, foreign policy decisionmaking, case study methodology, deterrence, coercive diplomacy, policy legitimacy, and bridgingthe gap between the academic and policymaking communities.

George's works from the major fields to which he contributed. • There are biographical essays by his wife and co-author (Juliette L. George), daughter (Mary George Douglass), former student (Dan Caldwell), and professional colleague (Janice Gross Stein). • There are 25 photographs of Alexander L. George and his family which have not previously been published.
