...importance of the comparison is that Manager Sloan is a democrat. He is a democrat not only because he is a human, just and generous man, but because he could not operate in any other way. He did not learn democracy in books. His democracy is implicit in his life. It is realistic, practical, unsentimental. His success with General Motors was that he literally made his management a democracy of brains, for he knows that democracy is the vital fluid of great corporate organizations, holding their personnel from top to bottom in a creative balance to each other.

Since 1918, U.S. industry has expanded, but so have the rules of warfare...
...story is superlatively well-told, and, as a chronicle of the damned, written with a suppleness and accuracy uncommon in the modern novel. The propertions are right, the prevailing irony is held implicit, and no phrases are wasted in commentary. As a study of futile people--people sinister in their futility--it is memorable. Even the death of John Graves was accomplished by a few inches of muddy water from which he could easily have arisen, instead of the quicksand he so grandly imagined it to be. The book holds one's interest throughout...
