With THE PROMISE OF JOY: THE
PRESmENCY OF ORRlN KNOX, Allen
Drury brings to a close the political
saga that began with his Pulitzer
Prize-winning Advise and Consent
--a major literary work that has
carried some fifty major characters
and hundreds of minor ones through
almost 3,000 pages of dramatic
events vitally concerned with the
life-and-death issues of our troubled
times.
From Advise and Consent
through A Shade of Difference, Ca-
pable of Honor, Preserve and ero-
tect, and Come Nineveh, Come
Tyre, he has developed two funda-
mental themes: the survival of
democracy, particularly American
democracy, in a world increasingly
threatened by totalitarian conquest
and totalitarian thinking- and the
survival of individual freedom and
integrity in a political milieu in-
creasingly dominated by the grow-
ing intolerance of powerful men
toward those who disagree with
them.
Now in THE PROMISE OF JOY he
poses the question: Is there a prom-
ise of joy, for nations or for individ-
uals? And ff so, how can it be
achieved in a world that appears to
be hell-bent for self-destruction?
