More than any other great nation in history, the U.S. has remained deeply mistrustful of its might and reluctant to invoke it. For most Americans, Manifest Destiny died when the 20th cen- tury was born, and two world wars have only thrust it deeper in its grave. Nonetheless, the junior Senator from Arkansas last week professed to see the U.S. commitment to Viet Nam as a portent of the overweening conviction of righteousness that has typified most major powers in decline...

The arrangement of his clothes, said Sir Elwyn, indicated that he, too, had been sexually molested before he was killed.

What this meant in chilling human terms is the burden of Chapman's fine book. It is grave and sardonic, but not extravagantly so, about staff officers and others who contrived cushy jobs out of the war; it is pious toward the dead, and the living are sketched cleanly in a line or two, unforgettably and unsentimentally...
