Much of the uproar came about as a result of the way the Muslims got their land. Ray Wyatt, 41, a gospel-singing segregationist, is hardly the sort to advance the cause of the black man. Yet it was he who sold his 376-acre Big Beaver Ranch to the Muslims for $115,000 last May. He claims that he did not know he was dealing with the Muslims at the time. But there was little doubt of Muslim involvement in July, when Wyatt and a local dentist, Dr. Robert McClung, sold the Muslims an additional 541-acre parcel...
Nothing of the sort, according to a military spokesman in Tel Aviv: "No Egyptian force stayed in our area for 24 hours. No Egyptian infiltrated any Israeli fortification, or stayed in one, or destroyed one." The Cairo claim, the Israelis added, was nothing but "a morale-boosting fantasy...

...absence of poetics-and heroics -seems appropriate, but the reader is warned that Calder's historic rehash is served up with the left hand. Tories are the villains-for Munich, for building the wrong sort of planes, for sheer Blimpishness. The fact that the Labor Party kept on thinking that it could have peace and disarmament is barely mentioned. Such partisanship ill becomes a study that ends with the Empire overseas liquidated to the tune of 4,000 million pounds sterling, 500,000 dwellings smashed, 355,000 dead (62,000 of them civilians), more rationing looming up, and "with...
