Behind the Mirrors: The Psychology of Disintegration at Washington, written by Clinton W. Gilbert in the early 20th century, analyzes the political landscape of the United States during Warren G. Harding's presidency (1921-1923). The book examines themes such as the illusion of progress, the influence of business on politics, and the effects of autocratic leadership on democracy. Using Harding's decision on daylight saving time as a metaphor, Gilbert critiques the uncertainties and divisions within American political consciousness in the post-World War I era.
