- Annotation
- Situates the novel within its historical, military, and political contexts, explicating Hemingway s honest criticism of communism and major political figures from both sides. Focusing his attention on chapters eighteen and forty-two, Meyers argues that the novel stands as an explanation of the complexities surrounding the Loyalist defeat and as such is the greatest political novel in American literature.
