Much of this story has been told by the U.S. Department of the Army and by Major General Charles Willoughby, Mac-Arthur's chief of intelligence. Author Meissner fills in some of the human reality from the point of view of a loyal German officer (he later commanded a tank against the Russians) who was completely hornswoggled by a master spy. In Tokyo in the late '303, Attache Meissner became friendly with "Correspondent" Sorge, who even was a guest at Meissner's wedding.

His naive, well-meant blunders form the best argument yet discovered against continuing the draft, or at least the best remedy for accepting it. The resulting comedy, which Ira Levin adapted from Mac Hyman's best-selling novel, shows how a Georgia farm boy can send the U.S. Air Force into a tailspin. Maurice Evans has produced this new play almost as a sequel to the Teahouse of the August Moon, and though it lacks the subtle charm of its predecessor, its homespun...
