secretary Of the Navy,
through his term as Navy
Secretary, until September
IT, 1947, the day he became
the first Secretary Of De-
fense.
FDR Persuaded
They tell the important
part those unalikes, Justice
William o. Douglas and
Thomas G. (Tommy the
Cork Corcoran, played in
persuading President Roose-
welt to recruit Mr.. Forrestal:
of the latter's titanic strug-
gle with Admiral Ernest ].
King, the tough and brilliant
wartime Chief of Naval OPP
erationS, over the running Of
the Navy, and of Mr.. Roose-
velt's personal involvement
in naval matters, so deep
that some Army men as
serted that the White House
had become q blinking
wardroom."
DR.. Albion, professor Of
history at Harvard, and DR..
Connery, professor Of gov
ernment at Duke. both
worked under Mr.. Forrestal
at the Navy Department and
knew personally many Of the
key military figures-in uni
form and out during World
War II.
His Contributions
Their admiration of Mr..
Forrestal, a man Of high
courage and competence who
won most of his Washing
ton battles, may make him
seem a bit larger than life
at times. On the other hand,
there can be no discounting
the Forrestal contributions.
The creation Of the Ma
tional Security Council grew
out Of his persistent advo-
cacy Of closer coordination
between military and diplo-
matte policy and action; his
skill at compromise produced
a unification plan at the
Pentagon which assured the
continuance of naval avia-
tion and the Marine Corps
while his opposition helped
kill a proposal to merge the
armed forces into q single
service; he, pushed establish
ment Of the Office of Naval
Research and convinced the
White House of the need for
a Mediterranean naval force
- the 9Th Fleet-to bolster
our foreign policy in that
area.
"Forrestal and the Navy"
adds UP to a fascinating
story, proving again that
professors needn't be dull.
But the authors have per-
haps an even more absorbing
book still to write covering

Of idea that cross and re-
cross in the web Of his life.
He has not sloughed his ear
lier ideas, as many intellec-
tuals have fashionably done,
and this book allows him to
demonstrate how continuous
his interests have been, how
sound his reasoning often
was, and yet how his atti-
tudes-his feelings - have
changed.
Raymond Weaver once de-
plored Mr.. Krutch's style for
its loading of every sentence.
Every chapter of More Lives
Than One" is loaded: there
is a restrained tribute to
Mark Van Doren as friend,
an important retelling of the
Scopes Monkey Trial" with
comments on the distortions
Of it in Inherit the Wind"
an awesome account of grad
uate study at Columbia dur
ing World War I, and a his
tory (free Of self-righteous-
ness) of the authors conflict
with left-leaning writer's on
the Nation during the sos.
To the plea of these men
that "a young man who is
not a socialist has no heart;
an old man who is still a So
cialist has no head" Mr..
Krutch counters: How could
those who had the heart
which is supposed to have
misled them accept doctrines,
attitudes and actions which
would have been, so it seems
to me, repellent to any good
heart'?"
Mr.. Krutch wastes no
words. His book holds the
reader to the end, though he
will often want to put it
down and reflect on what he
has read. The chances are
that he will go hunting the
bookshelves for Mr.. Krutch's
earlier work as well.
