...forces, the basic foreign-policy concept of Dwight Eisenhower and John Foster Dulles, is ceaselessly advocated and practiced at high policy levels by Airman Radford. This Eisenhower concept, carrying downward through all levels of U.S. foreign policy, thus reflects a growing U.S. move to recapture the spirit of the logic of what the Navy's great theorist, Alfred Thayer Mahan, called "reasonable policy supported by might," limited by Theodore Roosevelt's word of caution, "I never take a step in foreign policy unless I am assured that I shall be eventually able to carry out my will...
From his flagship Enterprise, Radford led Carrier Division II through the Gilbert Island landings, improvising air and sea tactics to meet each crisis, running his ships and men with warm command and cold logic. In May 1944 he was hustled back to Washington as Assistant Deputy Chief of Naval Operations (Air), where he beat loud drums for the cause of naval aviation and produced the Radford Report, a skillful survey of the delivery, combat use, rotation, repair and relocation of aircraft. Brought back to the Pacific in November 1944, when Japanese naval forces were dwindling fast, Radford was appointed commander...

...kept on writing. An Outcast of the Islands was a tale of progressive moral ruin, told with a ruthless Dostoevskian logic up to a point of no return. Lord Jim, which read like a boy's story, was actually a painful parable of the penance a man must do to reclaim honor lost in one moment of cowardice. In Heart of Darkness, the most enigmatic of his novels, Conrad used as background his dismal experiences in the Belgian Congo. Its protagonist Kurtz is a portrait of a man whose pure will-to-power has squandered itself hopelessly. In the epigraph...
