Revealing the legacy of the 1930s for the war years and the McCarthy era, this book explores the personal impact of hard political reality with which the author himself has been so well acquainted. It follows Carl Myers, who progresses from an objective interest in scientific problems to a concern with the human implications of those problems.
Interesting the way literature, speech, and situations in fiction have changed from this book written in 1951. The title page reads "special Unexpurgated Condensation."
