...eyes do not flash through clouds of incense or from altar candles . . . This new god is not a stone statue worn smooth by the kisses of the faithful-he was not born in heaven . . . The new god is born from earth and blood-he strides ahead, and under the thunder of his steps the globe trembles from East to West. This is the red god.

There are the soothing phrases of Neville Chamberlain, returned from Munich; the hysterical scream of Hitler, punctuated by the thunder of his Storm Troopers' "Sieg Heil!
