...Guerre has no real beginning or end. At the film's conclusion, Diego is off to Spain to instigate a hopeless general strike in Madrid, unaware that the policia are closing in. His mistress boards a plane to bring him back to the safe harbor of France, fearful that she may be too late, that this time he has finally bought a one-way ticket home.

Surfaced to urge his former comrades to follow his lead, he asked: "Who is it who coerces them to fight for such a hopeless cause like May flies plunging headlong into the open flame?" The message is likely to find receptive ears. Last week Saigon announced that November had produced 2,505 Viet Cong defectors, a record for any month. The number brought the year's total to 17,726-a full...
