...religious perceptions, useful as far as they go, are rudimentary. His prose ranges between brilliant neo-Menckenism and embarrassing vulgarity. Too often, when he intends to insult the reader's stupidity, he insults his intelligence instead.

On the surface, it calls for a return to the chaotic free enterprise of the twenties between the lines it is an incipient fascism threatening to destroy those principles for which the war is being fought...
