on the other. Caught in the middle arenDean and Admiral Kraft. Dean sticksnwith it and wins; Kraft, though fullynappreciating the significance of Dean’snexperience, must sadly yield to the poll-‘nticians and public-relations people fornwhom moral cowardice is the betternpart of valor. As Webb suggests late innthe book, ‘”Honor was a microscope.nIt could also be a guillotine.” For allnof the major characters honor is a setnof lenses under which their souls- arenminutely examined and tested; for severalnit almost becomes an instrument ofnexecution.nWebb’s fine, novel paints a picture ofna time in American history when, asnnever before in our experience, radicalndemagoguery swept the country and viciouslynattacked all that is necessary fornthe survival of a healthy society, andnin the process demonstrated the truthnof Evelyn Waugh’s observation thatn”When the waterholes were dry, “peoplensought to drink at the mirage.” Politiciansnmetamorphosed themselves overnightnfrom hawk to dove in order tonprotect their careers, and in their hastento disparage their country and its armednforces they proved the truth of Flaubert’snmaxim; “Our ignorance of historynmakes us vilify our own age.” Justna few, exemplified by Fogarty, Lenahannand Dean, remained true to themselvesnand their ideals. They may prove to benboth our rescue and our redemption.
