...only love affair is with a girl not much older than he who is both a prostitute for the German troops and a spy for the partisans. He sees his comrades die while other Poles play the black-market game, digs for acorns in the snow when the last potato is gone. And all the time he remains in part a baffled child who avidly reads about American Indians. He also learns to kill.

Boyish-looking John Reed got into politics only five years ago, winning a seat in the state house of representatives on his first try for public office. Last year he won the presidency of the Republican-dominated state senate in a surprise victory over the entrenched Old Guard Republican incumbent.
