...Korea, Indo-China, sick France and dissension-torn Italy, Asia, Africa and Latin America, with its spreading infection of Communism. "In very truth," said Flanders, "the world seems to be mobilizing for the great battle of Armageddon. Now is a crisis in the agelong warfare between God and the Devil for the souls of men. In this battle of the agelong war, what is the part played by the junior Senator from Wisconsin? He dons his war paint. He goes into his war dance. He emits his war whoops.

A sly and winning devil, Coorinna meets a violent end, but not before Author Wilson can treat him and the reader to such exotic Australian fauna and flora as striped bandicoots, ti trees and brush-tongued lorikeets...
