Piety. Flashbacks to a pious childhood as a missionary's son in Shantung province follow, along with some overdone conjecture about the psychological effect on Luce of the Boxer Rebellion, which forced his family to flee China temporarily when the boy was two.

Certainly this was true of the Nigerian civil war (1967-70), which was perceived by many foreigners as a brushfire rebellion in a barbarian land where thousands of children were being allowed to starve to death. In truth, of course, it was a modern war that very nearly destroyed Africa's most populous and in many ways most promising nation.
