Freedom from God. Father Yánaros returns to town and persuades his fellow citizens to overpower the Royalist leaders and truss them up. The Communists enter the town unmolested, announce that freedom will come "later," and that all their enemies will be shot, including Yánaros. "Night falls upon us and the massacre of night begins," the priest cries. "Now the beasts-birds, mice, caterpillars, jackals-will leap on one another to kill or kiss. God, what kind of world have you created? I cannot understand...

Both Feisal and Nasser now knew that military victory was probably impossible in the bleak, strife-torn land where some 40,000 Egyptian troops have been propping up a wobbly republican regime against the Saudi-backed royalist tribesmen who are trying to restore the Imam Mohamed el Badr to his throne. The civil war has cost scores of thousands of Yemeni lives as well as an estimated 10,000 Egyptian casualties. It has also put off the day all Arabs dream of when they can turn their united forces against Israel...

...heard from. A hardy and hard-fighting race, with long memories for feuds and vendettas, it may take some talking before they will lay down their arms.

...main item on the agenda is the pious wish to "establish relations among the Arab countries on the sound basis of love and genuine cooperation." But in the Arab world, love is a many-splintered thing, what with 40,000 Egyptian troops fighting a bloody guerrilla war with royalist tribesmen in Yemen, Morocco and Algeria still squabbling over their disputed border, and jails in almost every state jammed with Arab dissenters...

...Stone. Other leaders in history have felt that they were doing God's bidding, but none with the sublime certitude of Cromwell. To the brilliant, humorless Puritan who routed the Royalist armies in England's civil war and ruled the nation for a decade until his death in 1658, "providence and necessity" seemed synonymous. In this finely etched account of the winter of 1648-49, the height of Cromwell's career, British Historian C. V. Wedgewood shows how relentlessly he invoked both, to strip away the "divinity that doth hedge a king...
