...brass knuckles take over. He has thoughtfully managed Townrow's arrival to coincide with the Suez crisis of 1956. His first night in Port Said, Townrow is robbed of all his clothes, beaten up and left in the desert. After that he moves in a "neverending daze," not much surer of who he is than everybody else...
