...commander, Lieut. Colonel Lambert Ihenacho, drove up in a camouflaged Land Rover with ammunition. The cartridges were counted out like gold nuggets, the .30-cal. machine gun ammunition belts handled like so many rare Grecian urns. Ihenacho, at 25 the youngest brigade commander in the Biafran army, supervised the process, his hands on the grip of a captured submachine gun. Then Ihenacho led the way up the trail leading to the village. The path was lined with civilians, young and old. "They help carry out the wounded," the colonel explained as he politely murmured greetings. "They are all volunteers...
Drama of Responsibility. One way out of the morass might be to determine first only the factual question of whether a man committed an illegal act. Psychiatrists would enter the legal process later, as Dr. Karl Menninger and others propose, not to testify but to advise the court on how to control dangerous offenders and how to treat and rehabilitate the rest.

Father Maitland's dilemma is intricately worked out like a fine, stout piece of convent lace. In the process, the author shows himself as a dealer in the comedy of the spirit far different from Graham Greene's celebrated psychodramas of doubt, doom and-damnation. His scenes are as funny as J. F. Powers', but without their cozy in-joke comicality. Keneally's humor is white, not black-a blessed relief. His book is infused with a pawky clerical awareness that human life, though sometimes capable of holiness, is more often merely funny. Thus perceptively armed...
