This is a novel book. The man's meteoric rise as a peacemaker in a nation tired by the long years of war made the truth even more shocking. An American propagandist is tired of manipulating the public in a world where the U. N. has collapsed, the country got out of one war with China, only to be facing a new one with Russia, and every political action seems to be forced by the war industry. He gets a final assignment: to write a slanted story about the life of the one honorable man who worked for peace. An enjoyable, convoluted, mysterious, hunt for the truth with some good characters in it. Unfortunately, the conclusion is a bit Ayn Randish--naive and unrealistic. Still, the trip was entertaining.
