A KIND OF FIGHTING. By

a Mind OF FIGHTING. BY
Patrick Cruttwell. Mac

Democracy wears many
guises, and not all of them
are pleasant to q small coun-
try, struggling to shape its
own destiny.
This is the theme of "a
Kind Of Fighting" a fiction
allied account of how an Ash
attic country severed its ties
to the British Empire. The
author, Patrick CruttweIl, ex-
amineS both sides Of the coin
and leaves a question Of who
won or lost. The road to lib
erty in the nation called
Sagha was pitted with in
trigue, betrayal, violence, in
tolerance and smugnesS.
Opposes British
The story is narrated as
seen by Henry Little, an Eng
lishman who taught at a
university in Sagha. But the
protagonist is Lin Soc, a
single-minded young man
who violently opposes any
trace of British domination.
His career closely parallels
that Of Thakin .Aung San,
who led Burma to independ-
ence.
World War II gives Lin Soc
an opportunity to press to-
ward his objective. His ragged
armies fought for the Jap
anese, numbering some of his
fellow countrymen in the
process. But the japanese
rebuff him, and he makes a
deal to join the British.
BloOdless Rebellion
When peace comes, Gen.
Linn Soc has become a potent
leader, known as the Dinzaw.
He refuses to cooperate in
rebuilding the shattered ma
ton, promotes mass demon
strations and foments q
bloodless rebellion. The Brit
ish capitulate and grant in
dependence.
But at this crucial point,
the nation loses the Dinzaw's
leadership. Independence be-
comes a reality, but semi
primitive Sagha founders in
a morass Of reprisals and ex-
cesses and predatory rival
leaders, and over it all the
shadow of com m u n S m
